    Air conditioning

    Anybody else a little disappointed by the output of the a/c. I know it's been very hot but I did notice the other day when it wasn't super hot. That the unit struggled to bring the temp down it was cool but not cold like the D4 managed.

    Tried all of them. Dials set to Lo. Max a/c, not sure what the 3rd one is. So not tried all of them. Very Happy

    The programs are in the settings and control how aggressive the system reacts.

    Make sure you are on Auto or that you have the vents switched open. Mine is super cool if they are

    On mine switching Auto off leaves all vents closed ? Have shown dealers but they don't seem interested!

    Yes vents open auto selected. Don't get me wrong it is blowing cold air just not as much as in the D4 (in my opinion) maybe I'm being over critical. Not trying to knock the car as absolutely love it.

    My one, if it's down low doesn't feel like there is anything blowing out but it seems to cool the car down nicely

    Have you checked the Climate fan settings? I found "Soft" didn't do enough today at 31C, so moved up to "Balanced". Made a big difference.

    I have to say there have been times where I've thought it's taken a while to cool down. But it does get there...

    Might be to do with the "deeper" settings. It certainly doesn't go on a "mission" and blast the car like the old one did. It does make it quite and calmer though I guess.
