Blu_Ray_UK2007 Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 I am perplexed by the functionality of my defrost buttons. What is their occupation? Which window is this for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChatMaven Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 The one on the left is designated for the windscreen. The right one is intended for the back glass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blu_Ray_UK2007 Posted January 27 Author Share Posted January 27 However, does the correct one activate both the tiny flat window above the shelf and the large glass that covers the engine bay? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChatMaven Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 Affirmative, it activates both the inside rear glass and the engine bay glass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blu_Ray_UK2007 Posted January 27 Author Share Posted January 27 What is the reason for the activation of the AC light when pressing the front defrost button? I am likewise perplexed by this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geek2232 Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 Typically, the AC compressor will operate when you use the front defrost feature to remove moisture from the air. Low humidity is more efficient in defogging the windscreen and avoiding further fogging. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blu_Ray_UK2007 Posted January 27 Author Share Posted January 27 This raises another inquiry. Will activating the AC and setting the heat to the highest degree reduce the overall heat level? I must admit that I did not excel in formulating that inquiry. Is it possible to activate the AC and set the heat to the highest level in order to get maximum heat in the car? Do individuals consistently use the air conditioning button when using the heating function? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craigbelont Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 I often use the air conditioning system while using the heating function throughout the Winter. Given our relatively temperate Winters, it is more pleasant to remove the moisture from the atmosphere on gloomy, rainy days. Although I cannot provide an exact measurement of the cabin's temperature, the presence of drier air creates a perception of coolness, suggesting that the air conditioning system may produce less heat.

Blu_Ray_UK2007 Posted January 27 Author Share Posted January 27 I have never contemplated much on the impact of humidity and temperature on my well-being. Indeed, I ought to consider doing so. I have a strong interest in light and have extensively researched it. The influence on behaviour and mood is extensively recorded. Although it may seem peculiar, I have a strong preference for certain light levels, measured in foot candles, light colour, measured in Kelvin, and even CRI, which indicates how well the light replicates sunshine for colour perception. I am very astounded by the extent to which I can manipulate my emotions via the use of various lighting techniques. I use high Colour Rendering Index (CRI) lights with an intensity of around 40 foot candles for office work. These lights have a colour temperature of 5000K. As the work day progresses, I gradually reduce the colour temperature to 4000K and the intensity to 20 foot candles. During the final two hours of my work day, I switch to non-LED lights with a colour temperature of 3000K and an intensity of around 10 foot candles. I own a large quantity of candles that I often neglect to ignite due to my laziness. Additionally, I have candles affixed to my walls, which contribute to a very relaxed pre-sleeping ritual. All of my ceiling can lights are linked to the Phillios Hue system, allowing me to manage them using Alexa and create routines. Furthermore, I have successfully integrated the shades into the system, allowing them to gradually ascend with the onset of sunlight. If I attain enough wealth, I will include real bagpipes, similar to those used by the Queen of England, or maybe a whole orchestra, as shown in the film Coming To America (and naturally, the bath attendants as well). Currently, just the lights, blinds, and coffee maker are programmed to operate automatically. I strongly endorse it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TDudette Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 The heat, windscreen defrost and rear defrost capabilities of my R8 have never been used. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
p00rmansp0rsche Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 The air conditioning system consistently activates while defrosting. on the past, using the Defrost setting on your vehicle would cause the windows to get foggy until you either allowed fresh air to enter or turned on the air conditioning. Recirculating the air caused the automobile to fog up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TDudette Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 Based on my own observation, I believe that the air conditioning system in my designated domain (DD) operates continuously, even during the winter season. I will verify, but I believe I have never activated the A/C button. It significantly reduces fogging. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
p00rmansp0rsche Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 The AC button is one of the first things I deactivate when I enter my daily driver (DD). It is bothersome and superfluous to have it continually activated by default, especially considering the inconvenience of having to constantly look at an orange LED.
