Split climate as soon as a passenger sits down
When the passenger seat is taken, the temperature zones split and the passenger side gets its own setting.
WHEN
Seat Occupied — Passenger seat — occupied
THEN
- Front Temperature Zone Split — On
- Driver / Passenger Temperature — Passenger side 70°F (21°C)
Why it’s useful

- Automations only run while the center screen is on, and never while Autopilot or FSD is engaged.
