I have only had my Mustang for a couple of months and am still learning its systems. Here is one I am puzzled about.
When I set the climate control to AUTO and set a specific temperature to keep it at, let's say 70-degrees, it seems to keep the car at 70 degrees as I'm driving along. However, if on a warm day I park the car, run into a store, and then return to the car, the cabin temperature has naturally heated up to way above 70 degrees. Then, when I start the car again, the AUTO light is lit but the air conditioner to cool the car back down to 70 degrees never comes on. I have to manually engage the air conditioner to drop the temperature. Is this normal?
I thought that AUTO meant that 70 degrees would be maintained at all times using whatever control is necessary to do that (e.g., air conditioning, heat, vent, etc.). So shouldn't the air conditioner, in this example, have immediately come on to drop the temperature back down to 70 degrees? Or does this cooling process take a long time to accomplish?
