Personally I hate that feature. If they give you a button to turn on the a/c when ever I want, they shouldn't feel the need to have it come on automatically. Maybe on 100% defrost only.

In my Mitsubishi I can turn the knob a few clicks past heater toward heater/defrost before the A/C will activate. I figure it's cheaper to run the fan faster than the a/c compressor. I was able to figure this out by turning on the reciculator feature & turned the selector knob until the recirculate light went out. On defrost it won't let me have the recirculate on, to try to get rid of the humidity.
