Auto on Thermostat
When the thermostat is set to auto and the temperature of the interior reaches the temp you set it at, shouldn't the system begin to regulate the temp by providing hot or cold air to keep the interior at the desired temp.
I find myselft getting hot or cold and I keep adjusting the temp. When I took it to the dealer they said that you shouldn't keep it on auto and lower the fan.

I do find that I have to adjust my G temp down over time, that it tends to get a bit warmer over time than I would expect from the setpoint.

I'm pretty sure that the G has a variable displacement compressor... I know the old Q45s did. This means that they were able to run the A/C compressor at a lower capicity (less engine load) and still use it to regulate humidity. I leave mine on "Auto" all year, and have had very good luck with the Q compressor (120K+ on one compressor) vs. the typical results.
