Cool Will EF Fairmont Climate Control set to 32 cool?

If the outside temp is 36 and the inside temp is 40, and I set the climate control to 32 degrees auto, will it cool the car down to 32, or will it produce maximum heat?

The climate control will look at the data coming from all is sensors and decide what to do. So, if it's 40 outside and lets assume the incar sensor is reading 40 or higher and you have it set to 32, it is going to go into cooling mode until its satisfied the set condition has been met.
This is also assuming its blend door is working properly...

That's the whole point of Climate control....it controls the climate.

You set it to 32C, it does what it has to to get the car down to 32C, it controls the climate.

Personally I would think it should cool down the car to 32 whilst in Auto mode, however when I turn auto off and switch to manual I get maximum heat. Is it just me, or is this stupid? Personally I've hated my climate control. I've found it quite stupid. Bring back the dial and levers ha ha.

the 32 and 16 settings change to "manual" mode and put out full heat/cool. its there as a failsafe if theres a malfunction with sensors, etc.

set it to 31? which is still ИИИИing hot!

Not quite, but close. In manual mode your temperature selection is the temperature of the air coming out of the vents (according to the Ford service manual). On most days that would seem how you describe it.

In auto mode it is what is known as a PID controller. Proportional Intergral Derivative. It gets a setpoint (SP, in this case the temp you choose), a current value (PV, based on data it receives from the temp, sunload and ambient ensors), and an output (MV, the heater tap, the blend door and the fan speed).

If the current value is different than the setpoint it modifies the output to control to the setpoint. If you set it to 32* on a 45* day the climate control will be cooling.

This type of control is my field of work, I deal with it daily (among other things).

The climate control is alot smarter than I thought.

I've probably been using mine the wrong way.
