I have an '08 Nissan Altima. Recently, the A/C automatically kicks on when I push the start button. And, the blower switches from the floor to the chest position. This started about the time I put a new battery in the car. Thanks for your thoughts!

The climate control system was reset when the battery was changed.  
Have you reviewed the Owner’s Manual for how to make changes?
