Both my wife and I have noticed this, interior fan on manual setting, indicate/turn corner, fan speed temporarily increases and gives an extra blast before settling back down to where it was before once round the corner.... why would it do this whilst set to manual?

Even in manual the fan has some intelligence. Perhaps it's speeding up to clear a potentially misted-up side window when you are preparing to turn?

Been out in the car this afternoon and tried every combination under the sun with the heating/cooling/fan/aircon etc and can’t get it to replicate the issue you have encountered. However, previously I have had the fan speed increase momentarily, only for a second or two, then revert back to its normal position. This was whilst driving straight, not turning. It’s very very infrequent, so it may be a good while before I can make further comment.
