Auto Air Conditioner

Auto Air Conditioner
I have the 08 journey, and when I select the "Auto" button, it changes the air mode to the foot vents. If I then change the mode back to the main vents, it takes it off auto.
My husband has a 350z and when he uses the auto mode, it comes out of the normal vents.
Any clue as to why it would do this?
Thanks,
Denise

It changes the vents automatically all the time to maintain your set temp all over
(esp in cold, it uses the foot vent rather than blow cold air in your face) - should change once the engine warms up.

Wow - I have been wondering this same exact thing. This was my only complaint to the dealer when they did the follow up calls. But, the salesman told me that it shouldn't be like this and they would fix it when I come in for my first oil change. He said that it should stay at the same setting as when I turn my car off.
Now, I am confused.

More likely, the two of you were in his car in the summer, while you're in the G in cold weather.

My own experience with auto salesmen is that fecurtis is often right--that an informed consumer (read "car nut") almost always knows more about a particular automobile than the sales person. But, of course, the sales person's focus has to be on moving the product, not necessarily knowing everything about the product. For what it's worth, I'm not saying that this is the way it should be--just that it is the way it often is.
An informed, engaged salesperson, like Mike, is a true delight. Wish I could find one in my area.

Also, he tried to tell me that Kate Beckinsale is hot but I set his azz straight on that one too. Dumb English broad.

Has anyone else noticed the AC compressor runs constantly while using auto climate control? The AC button always starts lit, and I can hear it turn off if I press AC. I would think it wouldn't be necessary when only hot air is required to bring the cabin temp to what I've set, and it seems like a waste (although probably not much of one). I just kill it manually when I know only hot air is needed.
Anyone else see this?
