Turning a bit more clockwise as shown in the second picture, you can hear the sound of a microswitch, which disables the auto start-stop system. And you still get some air to feet.
Does this disable the A/C? I would love to have some warm air on the windshield without the compressor engaging.
No, it does not have any other effects than preventing auto start/stop. All other controls are fully functional, and thus you can independently switch A/C on or off from its separate switch, and you can adjust the heating from the left knob.
