So is the A/C on then when in Auto. (no Christmas presents for any flamers that say RTFM - I am at my desk and it is waaaaay to cold to go out and get the manual).

Doesn't having A/C on and a high temp set, defeat the purpose of the A/C being on? I want my car to turn on the fans when the temp is what I set it to be. - Auto is my answer then? It seems to work diff. then other cars I have owned.

When you change the fan setting, the A/C comes off of auto. Check it out.

The navi/non-navi doesn't make any difference in this situation.

I have nav

When you have it set to AUTO and it senses that you need heat and not cooling, all the air is directed downward. Put your fan on high and stick your hand down by the gas pedal and you will feel the air flow. If you want it to come out the dash vents you will have to use the MODE button to direct the air there.
