Rear A/C - Default 'Off'? - Click HERE for Original Thread

Is there a setting that you can keep the rear a/c from turning 'on' each time you start up?

I always start the car, then reach back and fumble to find the 'off' button.

I ran through the settings and the manual and did not see anything about this.

Hope I missed something obvious, as I think it must be a slight waste of gas to have it on when nobody is back there!

I think that you may be able to put a switch on the power wire back there to have it off until the switch is flipped.

When I first got the car I thought the off feature was something I really needed and was annoyed it does not exist.

After 15 months, I have no issues with the back blowing air since it is a large cabin and helps to keep the inside nice and comfy.

Perhaps, this is the way the auto is supposed to keep the temp within one degree of the setting per their ad.

I also found this irritating and felt warm/cold air on my right elbow/arm when rested on the center console.

What cannot be cured must be endured...its a major issue for us non-techies to put switches and stuff.

it is designed that way so the entire cabin stays cool and eases the compressor. Same thing if some idiot opens a bedroom window while you have the Central AC on. All that does is allow all that cool air to escape thus working your compressor and your NRG bill!

Thanks, everyone.

Makes sense why they may not have allowed that feature.
