My system never seemed to operate that way. The manual says to set the watering times and then set the seasonal adjust setting to 100 percent. But, my system always lowered the seasonal adjust setting to substantially lower than 100 regardless of the season, even though the manual says that the setting can go up to as high as 300 percent. I also noticed that other houses on my street had different Region settings, either 2, 3, or 4, even though they were all installed by the same irrigation company. I think the solar sync is overly complicated, and I would rather make manual adjustments to the watering schedule based on the season and the appearance of my lawn.
