Was driving down the motorway the other day and turned off the aircon and ventilation and just drove with the windows down.

after about 20 mins the ventilation automatically turned on by itself. Thought this was a one off, so turned it off again, but after another 30 mins the ventilation just turn on by itself.

Any ideas what this is?

I think this has happened to everyone here. All that you need to do is turn the knob to the left (turn the aircon down) and it will remain off. If you leave it at the setting you had before it will keep turning on - I had the same problem, but a few searches later and I had the answer, best advert for this forum!!!
Hope this helps
