A/C issues ???

[Dave]

just wondering if anyone else is having this issue
every time I turn on the fan the A/C comes on regardless of the setting or temp outside
this can be a pain on a cool morning and the windows are a bit foggy
any info would be helpful before I decide to go to the dealership

One of my old car, every time you put the selector to "front defrost" the a/c will go ON, its a normal setting to help remove humidity from the interior.

Observations on the Micra's A/C:
-If the front defroster or combination defrost/floor ventilation is selected, the A/C automatically engages, as it does in pretty much every modern car with A/C. What sets the Micra apart is the fact that it can be disabled by pressing the A/C button. I couldn't do that in my previous car.
-I can really hear the compressor when it kicks in; the "Thunk" sound is the loudest I've ever heard.
-The A/C is more than adequate for the Micra; I suspect it's a shared component engineered to cool larger Nissan vehicles. Sometimes, it can cool a little too fast, leaving me feeling clammy, especially if the outside humidity is really high. I find adding in a little bit of heat mitigates this.
-I've been unable to verify if the Micra incorporates a WOT cut-off, but I strongly suspect that it does, as the power it takes from the engine is really noticeable whenever I turn it on while driving, but the car doesn't feel any slower under WOT acceleration.

I never use the A/C cost to much fuel. Drive 55 with all windows down works for me.

With my current K13 1.2L I lose some power when the a/c kicks in. With my previous K12 1.6L it was exactly the same. This a/c seems almost too large for this size of car.

I tried that once; the sound from the tractor trailers surrounding me was deafening!
