2006 Outback 3.0R VDC wagon dual climate control

[Bill Bradley]

Have a few questions...

1. How does the passenger side sense things. I see the two sensor slots on
the driver side of the center console, but, see no equivalent on the
passenger side.

2. It's been below freezing here (Denver, CO) lately--even as low as -13 F.
But, even after the car was warmed up (temperature gauge well up from C),
and the climate control set to 72 F or higher, when you first get in and
turn on the car, it blasts you with cold air for about 3 minutes (control is
at auto, arrows show are the straight and down ones) before shifting to heat
from just the down arrow. I've tried turning the control up to 78, but no
joy.

Other than that, it works pretty well...

Thanks.

Well in my '05 LGT LTD wagon when it's cold it will not let any air through
until the engine is warm enough for the temp I want. Only time it blast
cold air is when I turn on the defroster. Do you have on the defroster?

Nope, just on Auto. No buttons are pushed, beyond that one...

Thanks.
