heating/climate control query

I usually have the climate control set to auto but if I need some heat to the screen I use the fan directed at the screen (button 3 on the quick start guide) but when I return to auto all the buttons are lit/selected like AC and auto and manual on the air circulation. Bit annoying as have to deselect them every time. Can anyone try this out some time for me and confirm it does the same. Cheers.

I think that will always be the case. In Auto the car will just select what's necessary to bring the car up to the selected temperatures in the fastest time. I'll have a bit play though just to confirm.

My Merc does the same, I have to hit the fan speed button to return to the setting I want.

If you hit the same button again it will go back to the previous setting. The only different thing I noticed is when I hit max defrost you will need you turn front and rear defroster off manually
