Unless things have changed with the G series...the setting above on the E & F series only worked when temps were approximately ABOVE 59° F and is used mainly to ventilate the car when it is ambient temps are warm by turning on the blower to bring the temp inside the cabin down.

The REST feature (as mentioned) runs the blower but the residual heat from the engine is used to keep the cabin warm...and one of the criteria is that the temps have to be cooler (like below 59° F).

Don't hold the 59° F as a a rock solid rule...I believe the F series may have changed the actual temp/degree that the REST feature and VENTILATE features can be activated. But the concept is that REST uses the residual heat from the engine when it is cool to keep the cabin warm...and the VENTILATE feature uses the blower to blow ambient air into the cabin to cool it down.
