Don't know about the thermostat, but generally your blower will ramp up to it's highest speed in aux. and your electric meter will look a little like Chevy Chase's when he plugs in the Christmas lights.
Good Luck,

In another thread (Thermostats) a Water Furnace thermostat owner posted on 12/27/08 that +2 shows on that (model listed there) tstat indicating aux heat.

My waterfurnace tstat will show:
Stage 1 = "Stage 1"
Stage 2 = "Stage 1 + 2"
Aux Heat = "Stage 1 + 2" with the "+2" flashing on and off.
