Add the following line to the preamble:
\AtBeginDocument{\renewcommand{\ref}[1]{\mbox{\autoref{#1}}}}
You can also change the name from "figure" to e.g. "Fig." with the
following commands:
\renewcommand{\figureautorefname}{Fig.\negthinspace}
\renewcommand{\tableautorefname}{Tab.\negthinspace}
And please have a look at the hyperref manual. All those commands are
described there.
