Lets say you don't want your compressor on to defog your glass...

No compressor on = gas savings

and if you want it on just hit the button always nice to have the option right?

I just read this at work and ran out to try it on my 04 and it worked. I always hated that it went on auto and i couldnt turn it off. I am really satisfied now. Thanks for posting this.

SO its not a myth that having the ac on uses gas? DAMN! What about the cruise control? People have told me that that also uses gas...

Btw, when you go WOT and your AC is on, it'll turn off while you're on the gas! At least you can race in comfort.

This was definitley something that should have been included in the owners manual.... I was so annoyed when I turned on the defroster for the first time, then hit the A/C button and it didn't turn off. Thanks man, you own!

Hmmm right

I think i gotcha.... I CAN turn off the a/c when i want, on off on off on off, that is what the AC button is for right?

But i thought that this procedure made it stop automatically coming on AC when turning the knob to the windscreen function (which it does) i want to be able to turn the knob to windscreen when sc is off, and sc stays off, instead of having to turn it off manually. know what i mean?

Sorry mate, not really "automatic". But in the States A/C always stayed on for us even if we pushed the bottum or before this procedure is used.
