If you are reading 0.9 with the engine off, the 1.2 maximum figure seems
correct to me. With the engine off I get 1.0 bar and the maximum boost
rarely exceeds 1.3. I only get 1.4 in very hot weather.

Yes, this is the way the climate control is supposed to work. Hot air is
directed only to defrost and floor vents. When the desired temperature is
achieved, lukewarm air is directed to dash vents. You can override this
feature by switching to "Bi-lev".

Yes, they do.
