Forgive the question, but my manual is in Italian!!!
I have the auto option on my console and I have aircon. It also has temperature numbers on the heating control. Is proper climate or just opens and closes the valve?
Eg. when the car is cold and I set it to the mid point, will it blow hot air until it reaches temp or just the temp for the mid point?

Second question, is there anyway to set the interval frequency for the wipers? ;-)

Yes - if you have aircon AND numbers around the temperature setting dial, it is 'proper' climate control (it will keep the interior at the desired temperature)

No, there's no way to alter the intermittent speed (at least not without hacking into the electrics - if you find a way, I'd love to know

Thanks! Thats what I needed to know! ;-)
