Gotcha. So I went and read more and came up with another question. The manual says
When in Fan Only mode, the air
conditioning system may turn on
automatically if the high voltage
battery is being cooled. The climate
control system could blow cold air.
This is normal. To prevent cold air
from blowing into the interior, turn off
the fan control and select the vent
mode and manual recirculation
mode, and close the air vents.
So during fan only mode, the car turns on AC to cool the battery as needed to cool it down, but if I manually turn off the fan, the battery is no longer cool?
Those two things should be independent of each other? Are we talking about cooling the cabin so that the cooler cabin indirectly cools the battery underneath the rear seat? Aren't there any coolant going around the battery already? Why is fan only mode getting involved in cooling the temperature of the battery?
