Question about climate control and low fuel light

In my Prelude, i could leave the fan off and let the outside air come through the vents. As i drove faster, the air would come through faster, obviously..... is there any way to do this with climate control? I just want the vents to allow in outside air with the fan off and not have to select a temperature. If i turn off the whole climate control i dont feel the outside air coming through and i havent found a way to turn the fan off without turning off the whole climate control.

sorry for the ramble....

about the low fuel light..... that light comes on based on amount of fuel physically left in the tank of is it judged on your estimate miles till empty which is based on your logged MPG..... so if i was averaging 22.5 mpg and the light goes on, if i were to reset my MPG on the highway and average 30mpg, woudl the light go off and be recalculated?

If it is based on pyhsical amount left, how much is in when light goes on?

Turn climate control off and turn it back on using the 'Mode' button. Select where you want the air to ventilate in from.

Wow...mine seems to come on at about the 15.5 gallon mark as I've never been able to cram more than 16 gallons in on the refill....

Actually, I was playing with mine this weekend and if you press the off button (so that the display goes out) and then just hit the MODE button, the display should come up with NO fan indicator. You can adjust the temp and which output doors (pressing the MODE button).

Found this out by accident. I hope this works on other...will someone verify for me?

I have a 2K1 with Auto AC.
