Default a/c controls

Does anyone know if it is possible to change the Mode on the a/c without losing the Auto control? When I'm running with the top down, I like to have cool air blowing on my feet, but the Auto feature typically only has it blowing up top. When the Mode button is pressed, the Auto feature goes off. (I like it automatically controlling the air temp and fan speed.)

It has always been my understanding that the temp is still controlled when it is not in auto. I don't think the fan speed is though.

So how do you activate the "Foot AirOut Operation" function? As far as I can tell, when my top is down there isn't air coming out the foot vents during cooling unless I turn them on with the Mode button and, of course, when I press the Mode button, the Auto function turns off. Then the fan will remain at the current speed until manually changed or returning to the Auto mode, which will once again turn off the foot vents.

when it is in auto mode, it automatically attempts to make the car whatever the set temperature is. If you have it on 60 at auto, the air will blow full blast at the top becuase it is trying to cool the overall temperature of the car... So you cannot have it on auto feet.

Yes I think thats the one you want.

FOOT AOUT OPER
(Foot AirOut Operation)

Function to turn the air flow from floor vents ON automatically when the retractable hardtop or soft top is housed.
Just goto a dealer and have it switched on.
