What's the deal with the AC in the Countryman?
I don't have the AC button pushed in, I think I'm getting "vent" but it feels like AC sometimes and not other times.
Anyone else experience this? Does the AC turn on if the dial for the temp says 68 when its over that outside just to adjust the temp inside the car even though AC button is not pushed?
I turn it down (the dial for the temp) so I'm not getting heat but I also don't want AC if I don't push AC.
Anyone notice this?

I think with the auto climate control, it will run the heat/AC as needed to achieve the set temperature. I am pretty sure that is is running sometimes even if the button is not illuminated. If you don’t want it to run, either turn the auto function off, or set the temp to something close to ambient.

Well its weird
If I turn on the car I hear what sounds like the compressor running in the front while sitting in the car in the garage.
If I push Auto on the climate then the AC button lights up and it still sounds the same. If I turn off the AC still hear the same sound.
So I turned up the fan and turned down the temp to 60 from 68. Then I pushed the AC button and it sounded like the compressor in the front was running faster.
I waited a bit and then turned off the AC button, sounded like it faded away.
Does the AC run anyway to cool the battery in the plug in version perhaps?
