Default Few Z Questions

For the air conditioner, wtf happens if you put it on "AUTO"? Ive never done it and Im afraid the car will explode.

And also on the lil air conditioner ****, there are 2 cars in the middle with lil orange lights underneath them. One with an arrow entering through the windshield, and the other with the arrow in the car doing a U'ey (U-Turn).

And this next one involves the sun visors. WTF are those lil board things that slide out of them?! I dont get the purpose of these things and they **** me off when they start sliding out when Im turning and hit a few bumps.

Any help would be appreciated.

Bump for good questions...I've been wanting to know these too.

Also, what are those metal square things by your feet for?

1. Why would they explode? It's just blowing out automactically.

2. One draws air from the outside, one just circulates inside the cabin.

3. Lets say you put your sun visor by the window to block the sun from the drivers window, if the sun still in your face , pull that little piece out to cover the rest of the window.

The AUTO setting will sense cabin temp and blow as hard and cold/hot as is required to reduce/increase cabin temp to the temp setting you have selected on the temp dial. Usually, this will blow very hard for a while, diminish, and then continue to cycle @ appropriate levels to maintain your selected cabin temp. I find it very annoying and seldom use it. Generally, I set the temp (here in AZ it's usually around 70 degrees) set the fan to medium until the cabin cools and then dial back on the fan. I don't think I've
ever used the heater, but I'm certain it functions the same way-all according to temp setting. In the olden days, car manufactures called this "climate control". Who knows? Maybe some of them still do.

The arrows give you the option of recirculating cabin air or drawing air from the outside.

As to question 3, I've never used it, but the previous answer seems entirely correct.

My owners manual is in Japanese, but common sense translated things for me just by looking at the controls.

My Z didnt come with an owners manual, and I went to the dealership to try and get one and they just looked at me like I was crazy. And I already suspected thats what everything did, but wasnt 100%, as you all say "common sense". But seeing as this is a Z site, I figure I would ask those of you who know better than me so I can know for sure =) thanks for the responses
