AC, Climate Concierge, and Auto
Ok, so what's up with these controls, nothing in the manual seems to put all three together?
For one, the AC never seems to come on by itself.
For another, the Auto control seems to only control the fan.
Then, What does the concierge do, it says it controls the perfect climate. Well yes, but what does it do?

Auto sets the fan speed. For AC I just hit auto and let the car do its thing. I’ve never touched the ac button ever.
Climate concierge is when the car detects only you the driver so the heat/ac will only blow through driver side vents. If it detects passenger then all vents will be used.

I'm not in my car but auto controls fan speed, which vents the air comes thru and of course temperature.
I recall there is a setting to enable or disable "auto AC". Set that to your preference and if you have it disable you'll need to hit AC button when you want AC.
I think the detecting of who's sitting where and sending air to them is S-Flow not climate concierge.
CC I think is fine tuning preferences. As an example, one can leave say steering wheel heat or seat heat/ventilation to auto and in CC you can fine time what temperature is the target. Driver and passenger may want more heat or ventilation on any particular auto setting, Something like that.

I put everything in Auto on all my cars (HVAC, both seats and Steering wheel heater) and turn on Concierge.
I only adjust the temperature. in moderate weather I turn HVAc off, but the system remembers my last temperature setting and adjusts the seat heater/cooler and steering wheel heater accordingly, even if HVAC fan is in off position
Concierge will check the seat occupancy and only turn on the seat heaters/coolers that are occupied as well as adjust the vents for indirect, comfortable and quit setting.
This eliminated one thing to worry about when driving. I never have to play with it.
