Default computer features secret access doesnt work

Hey , i got my hands on that tripod sites doc on how to access computer measurements.
but it says to press recycleair/upvent in the same time untill you get a 1C on the display of the climate control.
Well it doesnt work. Is there a specific situation i should be doing it in ( engine on, off ?)

Default It works - NOT the increase flow button - the dash vent selector.

Push and hold the recycle button, and THEN push the dash vent selector. Release both et voila.

BTW -engine doesn't have to be on - key in ON position is all you need.
