ahhhh... if your meaning when you turn your key and start the car and your air cond turns on....im pretty sure thats normal !! ( i think it leaves the setting you had it on last...and when you start the car it starts on what it was when the car was turned off)

If the car loses power (battery goes flat or is removed) then the climate control ECU forgets the last setting and defaults to 25°C on "Auto".

If it is still defaulting to this after the battery was replaced then it is possible that a fuse has blown.

Fuse 3 under the bonnet looks like the right one.
