Defrost mode (where it's blowing on the windshield) usually runs the AC compressor, regardless of the outside temperature. It helps take moisture out of the air before it passes over the windshield. That could explain why Auto Stop doesn't work.

A minor feature, but "cool" nonetheless, are the rear seat air ducts under the driver and passenger seats. Helps keep the back seat passengers comfortable without messing around with the dash vents. 
I just discovered them while checking for storage space under the seats.

Re: HCH-II Hidden Features
Thanks guys for pointing out the auto locking and unlocking feature. Now only if they would have given us an option to program the auto unlocking feature unlock all the doors! Some of us do not live in very dangerous areas. This seems like another feature not provided due to fear of lawsuits.

Re: HCH-II Hidden Features
I have not seen anyone mention the 2 windshield wiper features.
1) When the wipers are set to intermittent and set for the shortest delay, they switch to "no delay" low speed when your going more then 12 MPH
2) Again, with wiper set to intermittent, if the car is in gear and stopped with your foot on the brake, the wipers will not sweep until you remove your foot from the brake.
