On my 05 prius pkg#5 I can set the A/C to blow out the floor and defroster vent, but when it in automatic mode it changes the vent settings to the dash board vent. Is there a way that the dealer can change this default setting? I don't like the fact that the dashboard vents cannot be pointed up to the ceiling, it can be set down or in your face. Thanks for your reply Don Silver prius pkg#5
Nope, when you put it on automatic mode, it changes the settings dynamically based on what the inside temp is, what the outside temp is, and what your target temp is. It also compensates for hot, sunny days ... Really - the solar sensor on the front dash detects when bright sunlight is coming through the front window and will divert more cool air through the upper vents to blow on the passengers. When it gets shady, the air will re-divert back through the floor vents. About all I can suggest is turning the airflow control on the vents down a bit so they don't allow as much air to blow in your face. Dave
