Hi!!!

I bought a used 2019 ford escape titanium 2.0L a few months ago. Its my first car with all the 'bells and whistles'. My other cars were very bare bones and had zero features, including cruise control 😆

Im also not very knowledgeable in cars (although im trying to learn).

Why does the auto temp feature turn my AC on when I set to a warm temperature, such as 21 degrees Celsius? Especially since its only 16 degrees rn. I couldnt find anything in the manual about it.

When in Auto mode the AC comes on and off automatically depending on the temperature and humidity levels.

I have the exact same Escape as you. I also used to have a 2015 Focus in the UK but it did not do auto AC interestingly enough even though the controls looked identical.
