Plus, you need to dry the compressor before parking the car, so no condensation is present to cause fungi to grow and give out funky smell. In order to do that, you need to turn the A/C off and give the HVAC to have fresh air to dry it out for about 3 minutes before parking the vehicle.
You don't need to turn off Climate control to turn off the AC. I think a lot of people here confuse the two.

I have no facts on the point but I am sure the e70 will dry its condenser automatically if required.

I have run my last 15+ cars with climate control, lots of different makes, and I have always had the climate and AC on all the time and I have never had any smells. I seem to recall that NOT running AC creates smells.
