Ours isn't the top of the range model so we don't have an outside temperature control.
I thought all cars had a default setting to change the climate? Except for Volkswagen's which emit rainbows and unicorn farts.
VW’s problem was when the car operated on an ECU tune to pass the test, it drove like a slug.
Therefore, they used signals from the car’s active suspension, accelerator movement and braking system to detect when the car was on a chassis dynamometer, rather than being driven down a road.
When the suspension is rock steady, accel’ and braking are gentle, it must be on the dyno, and a ‘test tune’ employed. When the suspension showed movement, accel’ and braking are typical, it must be on the road, and a ‘hotter tune’ employed.
Other car manufacturers get through the emissions test by including sub-maps in the EMS such as Throttle Transient Fuel Correction; and Throttle Transient Ignition Damping. This approach, apparently, is legal because when the car is driven on dyno or road, the EMS behaves the same.
A good Performance, Drivability and Economy test driver would be able to detect TTFC and TTID, but not necessarily VW’s approach which adding a blanket change.
A good Performance, Drivability and Economy test driver will be able to achieve the stated mpg for the vehicle, but a heavy footed oaf won’t.
That’s why there is so much complaining “It doesn’t get the economy figures”.
My Ford Fiesta 125ps ecoboost has figures of 65.7mpg overall. I get 67 overall with motorway driving half the mileage. Some owners get 35 mpg and moan to high heaven. Heavy footed oafs.
