So we're in this period where mornings are still cool and requires some heating, but in the afternoons driving home from work the car's had time to warm up in the sun. Is it possible to turn the temperature down to 'Lo' without the A/C coming on and fan going up to full blast automatically?

Probably not but you can turn off the AC once you've selected Lo, then manually adjust the fan speed. It should remember those settings the next time you switch on.

Just set it to the lowest temperature allowed prior to LO appearing. It won't cool down any quicker by going for LO.

In fact I just left mine at the same temperature all the time - use the controls properly as a thermostatically controlled system is meant be.
