    I normally run my climate control in manual mode, and I notice that my blower doesn't always run at a constant speed. I know that if you use the Auto setting the fan will change speeds, but I didn't think it should do that if you are using a manual setting. Is that right?
    I was thinking I would make an appointment with the dealer to check it out. But didn't want to do that if this is normal behaviour.
    Any comments?

    Yes, if you select a particular fan speed via the MFD, then the fan should remain at that speed.

    However, if you just manually select a temperature, I believe the fan will change speeds to try to maintain the temperature setting.

    Thanks for the feedback. I think I'd better have the dealer take a look at it before my warranty period runs out in a couple of months.
