And in a thunderstorm with crazy bad visibility and associated high humidity it's definitely more dangerous than it should be. Seems like bad design to me.

My Gen 5 prelude got it right --- automatically turned on the a/c but let the driver control the circulation.
Oh sorry, I have a 10 series, I have no idea what the normal FRS climate control does.
