I do not have the nav system in my Accord, Rob. I am going on my
intuition here from your set-up, but perhaps a fellow poster with
an 03-04 Accord nav system would like to confirm.

When the system is turned off, the automatic climate controls are
turned off, but the system can be manually set by you. The blue
shades refer to the cooler temperature setting, and the red shades
represent the warmer temperature settings. If you keep pushing the
buttons a few times, it will get successively cooler or warmer
depending upon the number of blue/red bars on the display.

The A/C should not be operating at this time, since you first turned
off the system before selecting the fan speed, temperature, and outlets
where the airflow is directed.

I hope this helps you.
