What temp is going up? Engine temp or cabin temp?

I'd suggest a stuck thermostat then.  :-\ Unfortunately there's not much in the way of guides for the 2.2 diseasal  :-\

Auto button is for cabin fan speed...

Aircon on, you should have all three radiator fans running at low speed... if temperature rises, front and rear fans switch to high speed as dictated by the two thermoswitches on the radiator :y

There's a guide for checking the radiator fans :y
