Climate Control Auto Mode Question

I've never had a vehicle with an auto mode for the climate control. I noticed when I turn on the auto mode it also turns on the A/C as well. When I switch out of auto mode the AC will stay lite up so I have to manually turn it off. I have had the truck for 3 weeks but I'm just now noticing it. Just wanted to see if this was normal. Thanks

 

yes its normal.

 

If you don't want it to turn on automatically you can turn it off. As far as turning off automatically after you turn off auto mode, I think you have to do it manually.

 

Glad I found this thread as I just got my truck and noticed this as well and thought it was odd seeing as how I need heat and not ac here in wi

 

I noticed this as well. After driving for a awhile the AC turns off automatically. I had an Acura a few years back that would do this too. It's to remove humidity from the air so windows don't fog up when it's cold out.

 

You can turn this off in the settings of your truck. Its basically either auto A/C or no auto A/C.

 

I went into setting and can not find this option, Help !! Mine is doing this same thing when I hit auto and never notice this before have had the truck for a week now here in the Northeast

 

I left mine, its not a bad thing for the AC compressor to run if you are trying to defrost/defog, and I don't think it will kick in if it doesn't need to.

 

No need to reinvent the wheel. Its meant to come on for a reason. AC comes on on all cars when defrost is selected, whether it has a light that comes on or not

 

Not talking about defrost, it comes on when you hit the driver side heat Temp control and push Auto

 

I leave mine on as well. I don't think the compressor will run if AC is not needed. It's on a clutch
