Hi all,

I have a question about the ‘Auto’ mode for the climate. You can choose auto, manual or climate off.
But then there is also a choice of fan low, medium or high.

In every other car I’ve owned, if you set the climate to auto, then the fan speed will also go up and down on its own to get the car to the set temperature.

In the EX30, if i want the car to get to the internal temperature quicker, i have to manually change the fan up from low to high, it doesn’t do it on its own.

Am I being really stupid here and missing something obvious?

Hi Tidds, I am sure in my car on the Auto setting the fan speed increases if it needs to bring the car temp down to an adjusted lower temp and then the fan speed decreases once the desired temp is reached...This would be logical🤔

I think this is a bit of a Volvo thing. The fan speed setting adjusts the maximum fan speed used in Auto as some users don’t like the fan coming on too strong. It will still use max fan speed in some modes.

I feel that the fan speed is always too much, even when near outside temp. Seems that software improvements are needed in this area too, but with the amount of other more important fixes I'm not holding my breath for it.

I'm confused on this front too. Likewise previous cars in Auto have fully controlled the fan as needed. Here I'm still not sure what's going on after two months' use. I agree the fan is noisy.
