Shouldn't the foot and dash setting (bi-level setting) use just the vents on
the front of the dashboard and the vents in the footwell? This setting is
different then the ones that are actually marked with a windshield defrost
symbol (the settings on the far right). I think there are 2 defrost
settings for the middle knob. One for the windshield only and one for
windshield and footwell. I realize that the AC would come on for the
defrost setting but why would the AC come on in the bi-level setting with
the temp setting set for maximum heat?

Yep, any setting that has anything to do with the defroster will kick the
a/c on...no matter where the temp setting is. Most vehicles are this way.
Even my 95, which has a button to activate the a/c, does this. The button
can be in the a/c off position, temp setting to the hottest possible, but if
I hit the defrost button, the a/c comes on.
