SAAB 95 Aero, dual climate or not?

[Bigletch]

Hello
Just bought a Y reg Aero with all the toys, amazing car

Anyway, it has climate and appears to have his & hers temp as there is two temp switches and seperate temp displays.
When I adjust either side both temp settings move?
Is this the way it is ment to be or is it stuck in a funny non dual mode?

Thanks in advance for any help

Some of the ACC system settings are user configurable, and this maybe a setting setup by a previous owner.
The ACC section in your handbook will tell you what you can change and how to do it.
If not, then it's likely a fault in the ACC panel or the system.

Sounds like my 95. When I'm in it on my own both displays work together and the temps are the same on both sides but when my wife is in the passenger seat it reverts back to the last setting she had it on and her side then works independantly from mine. Quite cool I thought.

Must be a ACC configuration setting then or a Tech2 option.

My 9-5 doesn't do this, both sides are always independent, whether I'm in the car on my own or there's someone sitting in the passenger seat...?

Check the manual - both my 2000 and 2002 Aeros had the option of having seperate temps, or the driver's side controlling all. Was a selection of button presses to switch from one mode to the other - rather like holding down the ECO button for a few seconds turns on the auto-temp-controlled mode where it switches the aircon on/off automatically at certain ambient temperatures.

Mine operates each side independantly when there's someone in the passenger seat - otherwise the passenger side is slaved to the driver.

If you look in your handbook it will tell u how to change it. when i get to work i will find out how and put it on here for you.

Thanks fast car hardy.
I look forward to your advice

it needs to be done with a tec 2. U might find that if u go see your dealer they might program a new key and the same time.
