Default New C7 discovery????

I hadn't seen anyone talk about this. Maybe I found something we weren't aware of...maybe

driving down I-20, radio volume was muted. Just listening to the hum of the engine and road. Bluetooth connected. I had the fan speed set to manual control and on full blast heat. It was cold. LOL. I initiated a phone call and just as the phone started to ring the vent fan speed decreased significantly...and this was in manual control. The fan speed indicator remained unchanged.

Once the call was complete the fan speed returned to the selected speed.

I thought that that was pretty cool.

I thought I knew these cars pretty well but I've never heard about this feature.

My GMC Canyon does this as well. I assume it needs to reduce the noise in the cabin so the system can here you talk.

Yes, my '14 Chevy Cruze does the same. The Cruze also does this when I press the voice input button and speak a command.

Yes I have noticed this on my C7 as well as other cars I have had. I believe our Traverse did the same. Very cool idea!

This is my first Chevy make. Don't know if my jeeps did this.

I just happened to notice the reduction in airflow. I immediately thought..well that's pretty cool.

It's a GM thing...

My Buick LaCrosse did the same thing, which I hated when it was 100F in the summer but it DID make the phone call more clear.

Probably already mentioned somewhere, but another feature...

With a manual transmission, say you're cruising down the interstate on cruise control at highway speed and you realize you're not in top gear. You can push in the clutch, change to top gear, let out the clutch and cruise control resumes...never touching the accelerator.

My Cadillac ctsv did the same thing. I haven't noticed it in the Vette but it won't surprise me when I do.

When this first happened to me I thought my A/C was broken. Amazing how integrated the electronics are on these cars.
