[s-cars] AUTO button on Climate Control

[Robert Rossato]

Because we all know that it's not the heat, it's the humidity that matters.  And if you put it on Auto it will turn on the AC to control the humidity as a default.  Granted, on 50-60F days there isn't a lot of humidity.  Unless it's raining, in which case you want the AC to clear your windshield.

The system will definitely not turn on the AC on a subzero day, unless something is wrong.  To avoid freeze up of the AC system, the AC compressor will not kick on if the ambiet temperature is below the 40-42F range.

So, your Climate Control is working properly.  Just hit the snowflake if you want to shut it off.
