    It must be just yours Lee as mine's not on unless I actually press the ac button.

    Would the reason be wiring?

    Best take it back to the dealer you bought it from and get them to check it over for you.

    If you have the fan on 'windscreen' and the fan on 1 or above the a/c will come on straight away when you turn the engine on. Any other setting and it won't.

    This is done to help clear the windscreen quicker, especially as when you get into a car, especially if it isn't warm, your breath may/will fog up the windscreen.

    Mine does what yours does Lee. Same thing happens, lets say I have fan on 1 and on my feet or face with a/c off, if I turn dial to windscreen a/c comes on automatically.

    That will 100% fix it. I asked when i went down once and the guy said it was that. Its a little silly but he said the A/C is a good way to clear the mist.

    Hope this helps
