I agree. We developed a reminder buzzer for our systems, just in case
people forget to switch *back* at the end of the cycle, but it is not
often that people forget to switch over to SVO after startup! They are
too anxious to get onto SVO as soon as they can each time they start
the engine! Electric heating combined with coolant-operated SVO heating
also means one can switch over very quickly after starting the engine -
so that also seems to have eliminated the need for automated "switching
over". It is like starting the engine and turning on the headlights or
putting on a seat belt, - just a habit you get into before you leave
the driveway.
Actually, switching back is about the same, again it is a habit one
gets into, a few blocks from home. The buzzer is there now, in case you
forget, but it's certainly not needed all the time!
Try to keep things as simple as you can, and don't underestimate our
best computers...our brains!
