A/C turns into a heater on sports mode

[Bassiavet]

Hello, I drive an SE sr since February, I always keep it on sports mode, but recently I've noticed that after some fast driving on twisty roads the A/C turns into a heater automatically, is this a common bug? As I didn't see a complaint about it in this forum.
Thank you!

The heater is notoriously unpredictable in certain configurations. Does it do the same when not in sport mode? I often find I’m changing temps throughout a drive to keep the cabin at a stable temperature, which is easy to do by using the star button on the steering wheel, but not as easy as a “set and forget” system.

It automatically controls heating or cooling. If the temperature you set is higher (about 5 degrees Celsius difference) from the outdoor temperature perspective, it will suddenly switch to heating.

This is sometimes a troublesome problem in my city, for example, when passing through a small part of the suburban roads or roads with many trees at night, it will suddenly switch to heating.

so it's temp reference isn't car internal, but external???
That sounds like a bad bug.
Climate control should be only about internal temperature. Outside temp shouldn't come into the equation at all.
Unless the ventilation is not recirculating and cold air is coming in from outside. Then it probably wants to heat the incoming air so it doesn't cool the cabin. But sounds like it's overdoing it, still a bad bug I think.

It will consider both the outside and inside of the car. If the outside temperature is too low, then it is necessary to consider the temperature inside the car to drop faster.
It works well in most situations. The worst experience I had was when I was driving on a remote road at night with many trees around, which caused the temperature outside the car to be low.I suddenly became so hot that I flew up
