    For the last two start ups, my air conditioner doesn’t come on for about 20 to 30 seconds. Up till now it’s been fine. Anyone have these issues or any thoughts on this? I do have 10,000 more miles on the warranty so I’ll definitely have the dealer fix it.

    Keep us informed please. I’m having the same issue. It’s just slow to come on fully. Once it does it’s quite cold. It’s those super hot days where you want it to blow at the highest fan setting IMMEDIATELY and it doesn’t.

    AC Eco mode is off?

    Eco mode is on. I’ve tried it on several different settings on several different start ups. Strange. Works fine; just doesn’t come on for about 1 minute. I’ll find out from the dealer. Thanks

    Check section 5.1 of the Owners Manual for a probable explanation of what and why this is occurring. From your explanation I don’t think you actually have a problem because your description pretty much matches what the manual says.

    It's one of those fuzzy logic things, and Eco mode. What I don't like very much is the 15-20 second boot-up routine after power on to even get to the climate control screen.
