    When in AUTO mode for a function, no indications are shown for that function. The 3 possible states for "A/C" are OFF (no light), ON (light), AUTO (no light).

    Press the A/C button until the light is off if you want it manually off.

    Press AUTO if you want it automatic. Light will be off.

    Thank You......now, how do I get it to STAY in manual/mode?......when I go to the "Climate" screen & turn "Auto/AC" off (or manual).....it won't stay ......when I turn the car off & then start it again, it reverts right back to "Auto/AC" ......no permanent "Manual" mode??

    In my 1985 Toyota Corolla LE, there were two lighted A/C buttons—blue (A/C, normal) and green (econ). The tiny bulb in the blue one burned out at one point, but I eventually got to replace it. I never figured out the difference between the normal A/C and econ though. LOL

    The following is not my car (RIP) but similar. @Mendel Leisk would love these A/C controls:
