If the switch on the dash is pointed to any symbol that is orange (ie wind screen etc) it will automatically turn the AC fan on

It's because you have the direction set to windscreen, this turns on the A/C and cooling fan REGARDLESS, this is why it is coloured orange but most don't know this. In fact your car must actually be a MK1 facelift as the MK1's never had this feature.
