my question stems from the left selector on the control panel. the one that goes up and down. it 'seems' the top one is for a/c and the bottom for heat? is this correct or can i run a/c with the bottom?
also..once i hit the button the sends air thru the vents near the windshield it always defaults to AUTO and i cannot then press the circulate air on the inside only button...
any tips? is there something wrong with the control panel? haynes doesn't expand on it at all.
thanks.

Auto climate control?
Hey, I have auto climate control too! I've never seen another with auto air....weird. I love mine, I just turn it on and let it work for me. I leave that little lever up all the time except when it's cold out. I believe in the manual it tells you to leave it down when you're not using the air conditioning, but the problem is, it runs the air conditioning unit which robs your HP output . (Leave it up unless it's cold out)

anyway, do you happen to have the owners manual that comes with the car (usually in the glove box)? if so, it explains all you need to know in there
the little switch isn't really heat/cool, it's a fresh air vent try searching for that on here, I've seen several posts before about it
I'm not sure about your other problem because I dont have any experience with the automatic climate control (it was an option for GXEs but not SEs)

nope no owners manual guys...i bought the haynes...nothing about it in there....that's why i made the post..
so in concluding..
top:- free aor flow from the outside...makes sense why some dust usually comes out from it if i turn on the fan!
bottom: close for maximum a/c comfort (e.g. hot days). however, it turns on the a/c unit which takes away from HP.
correct?

Ok, I'm feeling nice right now so I went and looked. Leave the lever on the symbol without the wavy lines most of the time. This passes the air through the climate system. Switching to the other way changes it so only the face vents blast from the outside at whatever temp the outside air is. This system works independant of the AC and recirculate systems.
The DEFOG button (your other question) overrides the RECIRCulate button. This makes 100% sense since it would be dumb to recirculate moist air in the cabin when you push the DEFOG button to defog your windows.
Most of the time I just leave it on AUTO and let it decide! Sometimes I'll vary the temperature from 24 (manual recommended most times) to 23.5 once in a while, and push the DEFOG button, but that's it. Oh yeah, ECON turns off the AC, so imagine the system trying to do it's job without the help of AC and that's how it works - I play with that too, heh heh Mostly when I roll the windows down tho, since I don't want the climate cont. fighting with the warm outside air.

If it is down air must go through the climate system. The only thing that turns on the AC is the Ac button

Oh yeah, it also decides where you need it (high, low, bi-level, etc) but you can manually tell it what to do except for "blow cold" or "blow hot".... I guess you'd just have to crank up or down the temperature selector to do that....
It really is a very cool feature and works pretty well. I've only had a few instances where it's acted funny (ie, overcooling or overheating).
