Is220d strange ac issue

Hi everyone hope you all enjoying the snow. Today I have noticed that when I restart my car the ac button is not lit but lights up again when pressed. First time noticed this. Always have the Ac on so noticed wasn't lit when restarted car.

Could it be because it's below zero degrees and its some sort of power saving feature? So your Battery isn't battered in the cold? Only happened since the temp has dropped. Cars eh?

The a/c compressor will shut down when temperatures approach zero, this is to prevent the condenser freezing up.

Ah that makes sense. Thanx for a quick reply. Just found it unusual because had a Toyota Corolla which never did that. Temp was 1 degree here when got in and yes the ac green light did stay on after restarts. Phew thought had problem
