2010 T31 Automatic A/C


My first post but I've been reading the forum regularly since I got my car almost a year ago and find a great resource for owners.

I have a March 2010 build T31 ST-L CVT and going through the owners manual recently I discovered that there is an auto function for the outside air/recirculated air control on the A/C.

The manual states Push and hold the outside air circulation/air recirculation button for more than 1.5 seconds to set the automatic control between the outside air circulation and air circulation modes. When setting the automatic control mode, the indicator will blink twice indicating that the system is in the automatic control mode.

On my car, I don't get the blink nor the automatic function. I can only set the function manually. I took the car to Lakeside Nissan in Adelaide where I get it serviced and asked them to check it out. No luck. The service rep admitted he wasn't aware of the auto air circulation mode but would check other X-Trails on the lot for comparison. He told me the other cars didn't seem to working as stated in the manual either and has now asked me to leave the car with them for a day while they do some investigation work.

I'll do that but first I wanted to check with any member with a similar model to mine if in fact this function does work on their car.

Thanks,
Lee

Hi Lee,
I also have a T31 2010 ST-L CVT (April build) and tried to do exactly what you have been trying according to the manual. Also no luck and the Nissan dealer wasn't able to get the system operating as per the manual. He tried othe exys and no luck either.
May be just one of the many features offered overseas that didn't make it to aussie imported vehicles.

I have not worried about it and use manual adjusts to AC as needed but
I would be very interested in the results of the investigation.

cheers

Thanks Dave.

What an odd situation.

I'll post again after the dealer has had another look.

Just had a call from Lakeside Nissan who had contacted Nissan Australia HQ regarding the auto function on the AC.

They were told that the owners manual is wrong and that the auto function is activated when NO lights are shown on the outside air/recirculated air button.

Not sure about that but it's as far as I'm going to get I suspect.
No explanation as to why the owner's manual is wrong and hasn't been corrected.

Lakeside Nissan were very helpful and no complaints about them BTW.

OK. I guess then that the system may be working correctly when the recirculation knob is in auto position. It sems to work OK in that position as well and is any of the other recirculation modes I switch to.

Just that the lights didn't "blink" as stated in user manual so guess that it is all down to print error.
Anyway, as previously stated aircon works fine as needed.
Thanks for your follow up.

cheers
