2022 Start Stop while using AC

FancyBimmer · 05-01-2022, 02:39 PM

Since the AC is still engine driven, when the vehicle stops and the engine shuts off, does the AC still blow cold air?

Doesn't feel like it, at least to me. The airflow is definitely lower, too. In the warmer months the engine will restart after about a minute.

No. But if the IHKA request for cooling is great enough it will just not turn off the engine at all during a stop. Or start back up shortly after stopping.
