Default 2007 Climate airflow preferences

Something I've noticed as the weather has gotten colder is regardless of what I seem to do the climate control always defaults to foot level heating/cooling. I'd much rather have a mixed upper/body level and foot level airflow as I seem to get warm feet (better than cold feet ) quickly and then remember that the default is foot level so I switch it to multi-level and everything is fine.

I've ask my service coordinator and he claimed it was "standard" so I claimed I wanted non-standard. The manual on page 186 claims "Cool air may flow to the area around the upper body when the heater is on."

I think I spend more time on the climate screen than the audio screen as I'm constantly adjusting air speed, level, and turning off the compressor.

Unfortunately, it's one of the drawbacks of too much technology. I bet you are like me and wish you had manual climate control dials that are easy to adjust and would stay at whatever setting you choose. Definately a case of more is less.
