After you turn on the fan, press the A/C button to turn it off.

Try setting the temp to a higher number. If the HVAC senses it need to turn on the AC in order to pull the temp down, it will kick on regardless. HOWEVER, if AC is indeed on, the LED in the button will be on too (except if you have the temp set to LO. the compressor will kick on with no light)

For the life of me I cannot understand why people dick around with the a/c. Chill and subscribe to the Ron Popiel method of A/C control: Set it and forget it. The auto setting works perfectly so why fool around with it?

On my '14, it will kick the compressor on when set to lo and the fan on, if you set it to 61 it won't force it on if the AC is off.

You can adjust the auto fan speed in settings - vehicle - climate and air quality - auto fan speed
