Wind down all your windows to allow the hot air to escape for the first 5 minutes of your journey.

Less load on your air con compressor to cool your interior.

Thanks...first time owning a dark colour car....no experience...:smile:

Conventional knob gives me the feeling of old fashion and obsolete technology.  Digital have a more advanced feeling.  Just like digital camera vs conventional camera.

Hi, my first post here. Just wanted to input that the conventional knob is ok -- think of those modern hi-fi set where you can adjust the volume by turning a "conventional" knob but the display shows the volume digitally, ie. 90dB, or 01 to 20. It is still digital, just makes the method of adjusting more conventional, compared to pushing buttons to adjust temperature. Well, another example is ipod, where they don't use push button to scroll thru the song list, but uses a high-tech "conventional knob", if you know what i mean.  ::)

Well, that's just my 2 cts. I just secured my COE this week, so now still waiting for delivery of my F/L Latio.  ;D Whether the knob or aircon system is any good/bad, only time will tell.  :smile: Fingers crossed - please be good.  :yehyeh:

From my past experience, the less electronics used, the better.

I would say your facelift Latio manual air con knob would be more hardy than the digital one used in the pre faceliftt Latio.

But digital is supposed to be more advanced than manual, so it is a surprising move by Nissan Japan to replace the digital air con with the more conventional knob control.

Does it comes with Plasma Ion? I know Msia local assembly Latio comes with the normal knob and without Plasma Ionizer.

Btw, i also set my aircond usually ~25, only set to 23 or 24 when weather too hot and when i start to drive. Tink if u set below 23 and still hot/warm, that means aircond something wrong le, better get it check at TC.
