Secret Clima Functions

I asked the dealer this very question when I bought the car and was told it's not possable. Usual lack of dealer knowledge I guess.

So nobody has figured out the other menu as yet?
I have a copy of how to access the GTI menu, should have a look for it as I suppose there is a fair chance it would have the same electronics

Yeah, I'm quite keen to see what other goodies there are! I quite like the idea of an electronic speed readout which was mentioned!

Okay... the following info is MK5 GTI verified! I hope the new Leon being based on the MK5 that it works the same (I haven't checked yet):

Only available on cars with climate control!

Changing Degree Temperature Display
Press and hold the recirculation button. Then press the temperature up ("+") button to switch between degrees Celsius & Fahrenheit on the Climate Control Temperature and Instrument Panel Outside Temperature displays.

Accessing On-Board Diagnostic codes
Press and hold the recirculation button. Then press the manual flow control up arrow. You should see a 1c. Press the temperature up ("+") or down ("-") buttons to select a code number. Then press the recirculation button again. The value should display. Press the temperature up or down button again to display another code.

NOTE: Air Flow Motor (V 71) and Potentiometer (G 113) are not installed in USA/Canada vehicles. Disregard values displayed for these components.

Hi all.
There suppose to be a secret key combo that triggers the special functions of the clima screen (engine temp, real speed etc) like in the previous Leon.

I found this pdf file but it doesn't seem to work apart from the AUTO x 3sec function that sets the dual zone into a "mono"-zone.

Is there anyone who has found the actual key combo?

CODES TO SEE THE ADDITIONAL INFORMATION IN THE CLIMATRONIC BI-ZONE

How to activate

Start the car.
Press the ECON button and simultaneously press the “air upwards” button.
Stop pressing both buttons
Press “Temperature +” and “Temperature – “ this will move us in the main channels (29)
With “Ventilation +” and “Ventilation –“ we move in the secondary channels (29,1)
Press Econ to return to the normal functionality of the climate control.

Part of the possible codes:

* 1.0: Interior Temperature Centigrade (1.1 Temperature at the feet, 1.2 Temperature by the ceiling, the sensor is behind the grill)
* 4.0: Exterior Temperature Sensor 1, in Centigrade
* 4.2 Exterior Temperature Sensor 2, in Centigrade
* 19.0 Speed in km/h, in paces of 1km/h (10% less than indicated in the speed dial)
* 19.1 Engine Temperature
* 19.2 Spin Regime of the engine x100

Simultaneously regulate both zones of the Climatronic

Press for 2 or 3 seconds the AUTO button, this will activate the “AUTO” module so that the temperature sensor of the driver can regulate both areas. This is deactivated by pressing one of the buttons that regulates the passengers temperature.

Automatic Regulation of the volume according to the speed

1)Regulate the volume to the preferred level at a certain speed (for example 8 at 50km/h)
2)Enter the “prog” mode of the radio and select “scv”
3)Regulate the sensibility of the control (with the volume command) to low, medium or high.
4) Don’t use the volume manually again, or this will deactivate the automatic system.

Where is that gif in your footer from? Its so funny!!

Tried this in mine and it doesnt do anything. 06 Stylance.

Quite like the sound of an RPM readout that is mentioned

Did anyone ever get these diagnostics working? Nothing happens when I press the 2 buttons together.

Is far as I know these channels only work for the Altea. Switching to mono mode works, I like this feature!

Excellent useful info
Cheers

The SCV works as above, but adjusting the volume manually doesn't de-activate it.

Anyone know if there is a turbo temp reading available?

Click to expand...

No, all of this is related to the A/C. These must be all of the variables the little climate control unit needs to regulate the temperature in the car.

Quite a complicated unit.

thanks for the info.
