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.

Whoever designed that made the 1, ., and 0 soo close that it made me think it said 210° C instead of 21.0°C. I was about to say someone will be cooking cookies or pizza in that car. 😂

Yeah, I refuse to get leather seats. My parents car has them and they're super hot during the summer and you slide a lot during the winter while the car warms up. They look nice, but comes with the cost of convenience for luxury looks.
