Well, it's in your manual. Name:  boese040.gif

Anyways, if you're in Auto mode the temperature you have chosen will be reached and held inside the cars climate zones.
So, it automatically gives you cooler air and more power on the vents if the difference between your set temperature and the real temperature is too big, and then slows down the vent and the air gets a bit warmer once the temperature you have selected is reached.

It will control airflow and distribution automatically. This is described in your manual.

yeah, I would read up on this. Personally, I think the auto climate control function is great! I leave it on auto all the time, and just adjust the temperature once in a while. When it's really hot, I just hit max air for a quicker cool.....once you get your settings right, it's great!

Only downside is that the sun radiation through the moon roof is not monitored so you have to manually adjust the fan when the sun is beaming.....;-)

Turn the temperature control knob, orient the vents, allow to settle and sample.

Repeat till comfortable.

Oh, and you won't get cooling unless you have selected AC also.

That's what I usually do when it's hot.
