Macan 4- heater power

[krishmd]

I live in chicago and the temps have been about 50-60 F

I have ac off, temp on auto at 72 and I don’t feel hot air blowing out. The cabin isn’t cold, but I just thought it would be blowing hotter air if the set temp was 20 degrees higher than the car temp ( parked in a garage that is about the same as the outside temp)

Try increasing the temp, to see it makes a difference.

I found out that I have to set temp to 23 to have the same internal temperature I had in my Tesla with a set of 22. Probably it depends on where the internal temperature is. However I prefer to use the seat warmer to have a comfortable internal temperature.

72 is basically still A/C lol
i think you'll need to put it at 75 and up for it to be warm

Are you using the gentle or strong setting? That seems to make a big difference.

There's fan speed but also those two settings if you go to the climate menu in the infotainment.

You should also leave AC on when heating the car.

I use the soft, but it’s not the speed of the airflow, but the temperature I’m having concern over.

I can leave the ac on for the humidity effect.

I think if you have it on soft it might warm the cabin more gently. Try the other setting and see if you notice warmer air.

Although worth mentioning, you probably want to set to 75 or 76 to get warmer air.

what's the impact of the heating system referred to mileage?

my bet is that its a software issue.
in is back in for the third time. it has affected the fan speeds, heated steering wheel among other items

Did you confirm this?

I am also noticing that sometimes the car struggles to heat the cabin...today I had it set at 24 celsius and it was still blowing cold air for 10mins or so
