The sensor in the light switch does indeed control the heating or cooling in the cabin by sensing air temp above the windscreen. You will notice, if all is working Ok, that if you adjust the thumbwheels to heat, hot air will come from the selected vents and gradually get less hot as cabin temp rises to meet the setting, and then maintains it without further adjustment. I find that my controls are very sensitive and an adjustment of a degree or so is all that is needed to achieve the desired degree of heating or cooling. Good luck
I would maintain that if there isn't a button marked "auto" anywhere that this is not a truely automatic system. Maybe for temp, but not for blower speed. Even the 190's in the US that had the 3 speed fan switch were not called Automatic Climate Control, they were called "Tempmatic". I suspect that's what they call this system too, automatic in temp only.
