Auto Feature
Hi there,
Not sure if something is wrong with my Auto feature of A/C and Heater. I thought that once you turn the feature on, it automatically adjusts the temperature. Just to check, I increased the temperature on both the driver side and the passenger side all the way up to 80 degrees in a hot condition. I then turned the Auto feature on, but it never went down from 80 degrees to whatever it thought that would be the best.
Am I missing something or do I need to have it checked.
Sorry, new to Merecedes Benz.
Regards,

My understanding is that Auto means it will automatically adjust the speed of the air and what air vents will be used based on the temperature you set.

Set the auto button, set your desired cabin temp on each side, let it work. My wife can't seem to grasp the concept either, always fiddling with the dials. It's just like the thermostat in your house.

Really. Dumbest thread ever. Set it to 80 and it won't cool to a temp below that. Well, no Shet!

Well, I guess the OP gets it, but while at this topic, does someone know what the system does when you set a temperature but it is not on AUTO? Does it just adjust the air temperature to the set point and blow that in the car until changed? Or does it still control to the set point temperature?

And it will also stay on the current vent locations until manually changed to lower vents, higher vents, defrost, combo, etc.

Yes, as soon as you touch the FAN button the AUTO feature turns off. The AUTO feature is really adjusting the fan speed to maintain the set point for you.

Well, I know it holds the fan speed and vent mode if not on AUTO. My question was if the system still controls the cabin temperature to the set point (closed loop control) or does it just blow air in the set point temperature in the car (open loop control)?

My CLK and Murano run as described above. If you turn the dial for higher blower speed or different vent location, then it disables the auto features that change the speed or vent location, but adjusts the air temp to the set temp. I haven't really tested the new E550 much, but I leave it on 75F auto in FL, and it blows REALLY cold, a strong A/C system for sure.

members with the negative responses: You bunch of morons, I didn't post my question with complete detail as I thought the members with the negative mindset would be smart enough to understand it, but I was wrong.
I set it to 80 degree as an example a few months ago while I was in Arizona where the outside temperature was above 100to to check the auto feature, but the inside temperature never went down to 80 after even 10 minutes.
Instead of bashing my thread, you morons would have asked for the explanation.

Yo, your exact words were you set it all the way UP to 80 and the temp never went DOWN FROM 80.
I have never set my temp at 80 degrees, even if it's 100+ outside, so I personally had no idea from your description what your issue was. My Mercedes always cools down on AUTO to pleasant 70 something temp even when it's 100 outside. Your system sounds like it needs a recharge or some other maintenance. These cars have a fantastic cooling system. One of the best.

Thanks Key08! It was a typo and instead of typing 100, I wrote 80. Ya, It never cooled down so I will have it checked.
Arrie, I apologize and didn't mean to insult you or anyone. Some members were insulting me with their responses so I got ticked off.

Bingo! Give that man a kewpie doll. What that means is it if the fan is on it blows ambient air....whatever the temperature....to vents last positions. And to the OP.....we can only react to what you write. If it's wrong then edit it.
