Ottawa-X

Greetings - I am having a temperature (heating) setting related problem with my Canadian X-Trail and wonder if anyone has any suggestions.

It is the winter here now, and temperature ranges from -15 to 0. Mostly -5C or so.

I can't seem to find a comfortable setting with the climate control. It is either too hot or too cold. If I set the temperature to 18 (the lowest setting), then cool air comes in the cabin. Anything above that and over a short period of time it is too hot again.

I find myself moving the dial from 18 to something above and back again while I am driving to try and find a reasonable (say 20C) temperature. This is frustrating. I want to set it a few notches above 18 and get a comfortable setting, but it just gets too warm.

Any thoughts? Have you had the same issue?

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Must admit I've noticed the same thing.....usually set it @ 20-24 to start then have to decrease it once it warms up......lowest setting is usually too cool, one notch above seems to be about the best but I usually end up fiddling with it too. Usually set the fan on 'auto' to start but then move it to a lower speed (one or two notches above auto) once I can feel some warm air & the windows are cleared etc.
Haven't been on any extended trips since it's turned cold.........maybe 1/2 hr max in the car....will let you knwo if I find a setting that really works well.

Happy New Year to all

Mine is set to 24 degree and all other functions to auto
This seems to work for me
