Understood - but what if (for fuel efficiency for example) I don't want to engage the A/C at all?
Surely it wouldn't be such a big deal to do what some other manufacturers do, and simply stick on a little "use with A/C" label onto the window setting for the vents?

Leave it to the driver to decide what is the best setting to use.
