Just a quick question. I'm now using the heater for the first time in my 06 SE. One thing I think is weird is that when putting the climate control on "auto," the air only seems to go through the floor. If I try to manually switch the heat to the dash vents (or any other configuration, I believe) then the auto mode turns off. Is that normal? I wouldn't expect auto mode to turn off just because I select which vents I want the air to come from. When using the AC on auto, I believe the air came through the dash vents so I never tried switching vents with the AC on auto.

Heat rises so typically for max comfort you want the heat discharged low and the cool discharged high. I do still get heat out of the dash vents just at a reduced rate, primarily coming through the defrost and floor. I am quite pleased with how well the system works. Unless I am using defrost mine is always in auto and I just set the temp. In other vehicles that don't have such nice HVAC systems I usually leave the heat controls on Defrost/floor all winter, as this setting keeps the a/c on with the heat and keeps the windows (all) clear by constantly dehumidifying.
