The automatic programme of the air conditioning in the MINI Countryman (2023) cools or heats the passenger area to the set temperature and then keeps the temperature constant. The indicator in the climate bar informs you about the current state of heating up or cooling in the climate system. The desired interior temperature is reached as soon as the bar is no longer displayed. Avoid switching between different temperature settings in quick succession. The automatic air conditioning then does not have enough time to regulate the set temperature. When the automatic programme is switched on, the heating and cooling speed is automatically adjusted by changing the air volume. For more information on the air conditioning automatic programme in your MINI, please refer to the MINI Driver's Guide app or the Owner's Handbook of your MINI.
