Even if the A/C light is on... The compressor is not actually running. It is still putting out heat. I can't figure out why that light is always defaulted to on whenever you put both dials to auto. Its not a problem though.
Hmm... I thought it shut off the compressor. Your probably right though. You quoted the manual, where as I am just guessing. Lol
I know it still blows out hot air though, so... does it just kinda make the compressor "waste" all its energy?
