Default Weird HVAC observation

Does anyone else ever see this?
no matter what I set my temp to on the dials the screen shows 1 deg lower?
Oh and my car is notnearly as dusty as it looks in the pic

My MY18 Climate icon just shows "Climate" - maybe they dropped the temp display because of inconsistencies!

I think it's a calibration issue, because mine show the correct temp: temp set, actual temp and outside temp.

It may be a rounding issue where internally the car deals with degrees Celsius but you have it set to show in degrees Fahrenheit.
Does it do it for all displayed temperatures, or only some?

Mine does this too. Kinda a hilarious calibration miss.

I thought it was a rounding thing also but it does it at every temperature. 25c is 77f and 20c is 68f and those still show off by 1 deg. Such and odd thing to get wrong. Glad it's not just me tho.
