Default New (to me) feature

On a graduation trip (granddaughter) from southern Utah to southern California, I learned a feature that pleasantly surprised me. The temperature was 106 degrees. Starting from a hotel parking lot, the A/C and fan were on full blast. But, when Apple Maps wanted to give me verbal directions, it reduced the fan speed so I could hear the directions. And, it returned the fan speed to the previous setting when it was finished communicating.

2023 SR HTC R8C 24,510 miles. I never knew this feature.

Yep, even though it's only been in the low 80s around here, I noticed it in mine too.

Most cars have this feature, but what I like is ability to adjust volume of navigation or prompts just using the volume button while it is being spoken.

It's part of my 2024 SR Bose AudioPilot's features as well. Sound volume adjusts based on cabin noise levels.
