What does that auto vent thing do? I don't know the name but you set it and it has 2 different times for it to work and then it lights up that little red light under the center... Do you use it in the winter to defrost? I have ment to look it up in the book but I always forget...

My benz has the same thing, in the winter, it will re-circulate the hot air from the engine for a half hour and same thing in the summer. In my benz, you hit the button before you shut the car off and then it will be on after removal of the key.

Rest button is for Residual Heat Mode.
The car uses the engine heat to keep the car warm while parked.
Automatic Ventilation vents the car while parked.
Totally different functions.
