I figured out the situation. Apparently after you lock the car, then unlock it without starting the engine and turning on the ACC only, you cannot turn on the parked car ventilation right away, only a timer...that's what I was doing, just to see if it worked. If the engine is running, it's like you stated, only the timer. If the engine is running, then you turn off the engine, all options are available like you stated. Fortunately the scenario I was doing is not typical, so it's not an issue.
