I have a JLU Sport S with the "Dual-Zone Automatic Temperature Control". When I set the desired temperature to something that should require heat (say 71 when it is about 50/sunny outside, but definitely cooler than 71 in the interior cabin), it blows cool air quite often.
At first I thought the internal temperature thermometer/sensor might be in the direct sunlight and may be getting a wrong reading (it "reads" a higher temp than what I set in on the Uconnect display...and "thinks" it needs to cool to get down to the set temp).
It seems that when this occurs, I can jack the auto/desired temp way up (say, in the mid-80s) and it will begin blowing warm air again, so maybe there is something to the temperature sensor not getting an accurate internal/cab reading.
When I turn off "AUTO" it seems that I can properly control the blower -- no cool air when I don't want it.
I was wondering if anyone else noticed this problem and if they have suggestions.
I will mention it to the dealer when I take it in for an oil change in a month or so and see what they think as well.
