Heater ?
 

ive read my drivers manual, but still cant find answer .

why is it that everytime you start the car, the a/c comes on auto. i keep turning it off, but when i get out and start up again same thing. is this normal.

i thought whatever settings you have it on when you turn off ignition is the same settings when you get back in the car. puzzled ?

Normal, yes.
Annoying? Absolutely.
Damn Germans... :D

Du verstehst das nicht. Wir Deutschen wissen, was Sie brauchen, besser, so dass wir das Auto, um es für Sie eingestellt. Sie sind herzlich eingeladen.

Mine doesn't and it ROW like lee's car, but then I never ever have it on AUTO ....

lee, try putting the A/C in MANUEL, switch off and then see if it reverts to AUTO or MANUEL on startup.
