Climate Control
I'm a bit baffled by the climate control system... gotta study the manual I guess.
But from what I tell there is no way to run the "vents" (not recirculating) with the fans on. As soon as I turn the fan on, the AUTO seems to kick in (and therefore the A/C).
How do I just turn on the fan with the vents open without activating the A/C or heat for that matter?

On my old car you could turn the dial from cold (min) to hot (max) to warm the incoming air (with the a/c on or off).
Since the TL has a numerical temp setting (from min to max with degrees in between), can I assume if the temp is set to a mid point (with no a/c) that I will get some heating? Or does the climate control always sense the internal car temperature and heat (or not) depending on the internal temp (or does it only do this in when set to auto?)
I am not used to running the A/C all the time so I prefer to turn it off when I don't need cooling, but still want to regulate the temperature in the cabin.
Thanks for your help.

I think you want to turn the A/C off and play with the fan and temp settings. I try to ignore the actual temp number and just lower it if I'm hot, raise it if I'm cold. Yes, it will regulate the warmness or coolness of the air coming out but at a certain point you should hit the setting that keeps you comfortable.
I agree it's often stupid to have the A/C kicking on and off when it's 50 degrees out.

Since I just got the car a couple of months ago I haven't played with the heat (temp) settings too much and am curious as we get into the fall season here in Nova Scotia.

Also by pushing the "mode" button you'll control which vents are used.
If you have a navi car, you can say, temperature max cold, air conditioner off, climate control full vent, fan speed 2, and that will get you there.

I got to try that with my car. You actually remember the verbal commands ??!! It is impressive. Can you say all that in one sentence or do you have to break them up for the voice command to understand you.
