Does the 06 HCH auto temp control turn the a/c on and off as needed? Or does it leave the a/c on and just run the air passed the heater core when it is cold. Here in Houston we have a lot of winter days when it starts out cool 40-50 F (I know that is warm for some of you
) and then warms up to the high 70's F. My wife turns on the a/c when she gets in the my current car in the warmer afternoons and never turns it off that evening or the next morning. I was wondering if the auto temp feature will out smart her. If she just sets a temp of 72 will it turn the a/c compressor off when the heater comes on and leave it off until it is needed to cool things down in the afternoon and then go back to off for the next morning?
Thanks!
