The AC turns on automatically when you use a certain climate control feature - I don't remember which one but it's somewhere in the manual.

It comes on automatically whenever you have the climate control set to the front windshield or foot & front windshield regardless of the temperature setting. My guess is that it conditions the air so it defogs the windows faster.

The a/c comes on to take moisture out of the air. Honda decided not to give us a choice. Hope this helps

To deactivate auto a/c feature on a MY2002+S2K:

1. Turn the ignition switch "on", but don't start car.
2. Turn Fan speed off.
3. Turn Temperature knob all the way to the left (blue).
4. Turn vent knob to all the way to the left (panel position).
5. Turn ignition switch "off".
6. Hold down both air recirculation button and a/c button while turning the ignition switch "on". Nothing lights up initially, keep waiting. The orange air recirculation indicator on the button will start flashing.
7. Continue holding both buttons until the orange air recirculation indicator stops flashing, then let go.

To reactivate:

1. Turn Vehicle off.
2. Turn fan off.
3. Turn temp knob all the way left (blue).
4. Turn Vent knob all the way right (defrost setting).
5. Hold down both air recirc and a/c buttons while starting car.
6. Continue holding for 7 sec until air recirc button stops flashing.
7. After the 7 sec described in step 6 the recirc button will start to flash. Continue to hold the button for another 7 sec. After this, the a/clight will turn to green and it's finished.
