AAC on 156 : a good thing to know

[stefanel1]

Untill about 2000, the Automatic Climate control of the 156 was terribely boring as the air conditionning was starting as soon as the temperature you had set was under the temperature in the car... and also when you started your engine.
So, a good manipulation here to make this Automatic AC less automatic

1. Put the ignition key in "STOP" position
2. Turn temperatur knob completely to the right (= max. temp)
3. Turn the blower knob to "0" position
4. Turn air direction knob to "mid direction" position (fully to the right)
5. WITHOUT STARTING THE ENGINE, turn the ignition key to "MAR"
6. Turn the blower knob AUTO-0-AUTO-0
7. Turn the ignition key back to "STOP"

Thanks for the tip, I was going to pull the fuse on the AC for the winter because it is always turning on and I couldnt override it, but this sounds like a better idea, I will try it tomorrow.
