...its a manually-adjustable automatic. I've been in lots of other luxe vehicles and the automatic climate control is truly that - automatic. Just "set it and forget it" as the guy who cooks rotiserie turkeys on the TV says. The cabin air should not need to be mixed separately for your face; if I set it for 72 degrees, the entire cabin should be 72 degrees. Just because its in the manual doesn't mean it makes sense. I'd rather have a truly automatic system than an automatic system that I have to adjust a degree or two from the setting I've already entered. Or maybe thats just me!
