Mine is left on Auto and does the slow start up as it should. If you use the front heater function it will immediately go to full fan whether the air is hot or cold. This is the only way I know how to induce the full fan with cold air. Does your car blow the cold air at you or the windscreen? Methinks that you may have an error linking in with the front windscreen blower function if it blows at the windscreen.

thanks for your posts.
Front heater function?

Mine is set to 'AUTO' and 22 Deg. All the direction indicators (ie footwells etc) are off. Doesnt matter if ECON is on or off. I immediately get the fan speed on about 4 LEDs and (very) cold air blows out of the windscreen vent, the centre vents and the side vents.

A comment on an earlier post referred to setting the system to AUTO and the fan will be slow (or off) and increase as the cars ability to deliver hot air increases. That i believe is correct but not what my car does ... and it sounds like a few others dont get this either

I check mine yesterday. When the car is cold you don't get much air with the auto on even if your increase the temp setting  to 25C.  You have to manually increase the fan speed and as soon as Auto is turned on again, the fan speed goes down until the car warms up and it gradually increases. So you've got a problem.
