Default Multi-zone air conditioning

Hi,

how do you adjust the 3-zone air conditioning in the rear zone to be most economic, when there is nobody sitting on the back seat?
There are 2 adjustments in the back: temperature hot or cold or in between, ventilation on or off.

BR,

For Gen 1, Q5's, the rear is just heated/cooled excess air from the front, there is isn't any active AC evaporator coil or heater coil in the rear. Thus is
doesn't mean much how you set the rear settings for "economic" reasons.

Cover the rear vents, so no air is diverted to the rear. That allows the AC to work a little less, as that stagnant air in the back won't be circulated through and "conditioned". Somehow, I don't think you'll ever be able to tell there's an "economy" difference though.(G)
