Confusing climatronic unit on 2021 Polo
Posted: Thu Apr 04, 2024 2:42 pm
Hi
Hoping someone can help me understand the “climatronic unit” in my 2021 Polo. I’ve had the car for six months now and still struggling to comprehend. (Manual provides little explanation) I’ve also looked at YouTube but nothing that addresses this issue.
My starting point is my old unit (Golf 2013), which had temperature (hot and cold), fan (strong and weak) and direction.
In short:
1. How do you reconcile use of knob marked auto on left of unit with that on the right? I know left is fan, but there is a temperature component on both.
2. I understand the default is auto regulation, but you can still adjust the knobs with auto displayed etc. Is that right
3. When you press the auto button, the A/C comes on but auto still appears on the display? Is that right?
4. The “LO” appears when fan temperature either below 16 or above and 29.5. Is that right? Assume these come through the vents, when open?
5. Final point is link between the two main knobs and the specific controls above. I understand they relate to locations, windscreen etc, but what happens when none of these are activated? Where does the air go then?
Sorry to be so dumb. Find the whole set up v confusing. Probably just me.
Thanks for your time.
