Climate control auto fan speed

[Kronos2300]

Hot day, truck sitting in sun for a while. Controls set to a/c on, fan speed limit is in high, temp set to 62 -- a/c is not blowing max air. If i tap the manual fan speed button "up" it appears the fan was on 4 or 5, not 7 (max).

I do not recall this happening last summer.

Am I off here?

Late to the conversation here, but for what it’s worth, I’ve found that the Auto setting will alter the fan speed based on the temperature you set. For example, I have mine set to the Auto Low setting and 70 temperature synced most of the time, but if I turn the temperature knob all the way down to LO, it will increase the fan speed even in that Low Auto setting.

You mentioned you have it set at 62, maybe if you set it at LO it will give you that extra fan speed you want?

Also, the Max A/C button is your friend. You never have to be adjusting your settings when you get on the truck. Just press that button and let the cabin cool off to what you feel is good, then press the button again and it’ll return back to the settings you previously had.

I live in Florida and it’s what I do all the time. Works like a charm.

Copy all and am familiar with all that. This is the first vehicle I've been in (I used to road test vehicles for a living) where "auto" fan speed never uses the max available fan speed.

On a 90+ degree day, CC set to anything in the 70s or 60 with vehicle left in sun results in max fan speed till cool down -- in every other vehicle except the gen 3 raptor. My gen 1 worked perfectly. No biggie, just annoyed that Ford, the US, etc., is literally throwing our exceptionalism into the trash in favor of useless tech like Wi-Fi hot spot. Just my $0.02.

Man, I love my AC in my 37PP. Thing darn near throws ice cubes out at me. Mine has the exact same characteristics described as above, but as long as it gets cold, I have zero complaints. It literally gets cold enough to make my hands hurt if the air is blowing directly on the steering wheel.

What’s the cut off temperature for the AC button being on? When should it be turned on or off?
