More help on climate control?
Hi all, I seem to not be able to turn off my fan so easily. I have to depress the "0" a couple of times (more than the fan bars indicate) just to get it low and then a couple of more times to zero it. I have a 2002 C320 (digital climate control std).
Any suggestions?

I've got a C240 so the controls are somewhat different, but I think I did read that the only way to shut off the digital system is to keep pressing the "down fan" until it's at zero. On the C230/240, you just spin the fan control knob to zero (whether you're in "auto" or not, this turns it off).

I found the same thing in the begining. The trick is, you have to wait apprx 1/2 sec between each push on the "0" button. If you do it too fast, the system will ignore some of the pushes. But if you do it right, 5 pushes should turn the whole system off.

Got it...
Thanks for everyone's replies. I realized that I can not be too quick pressing the "0" button...
On a side note - I realized the back seat fan somewhat controls the front as well; the front may just accomodate for the high setting on the back.

cab000, I pressed 0 until one bar on the fan graph remained, and the next push resulted in turning the fan off, with the "0" in the display. I didn't pay much attention to the speed between pushes. I did notice that you can't just hold the switch and watch it drop to zero... you have to push for each decrease.
