Warm Air blowing through vents while Air Con is Off.

[MarsBar99]

Hello Ive only had my 2023 CTR for 3 months ( 2 k miles) and Love it
But I have noticed something annoying. When I first start driving I always have the Fan set to Fresh Air Mode & Air Con is Off ( Set to Cool ) After a few minutes driving ( Summer Here) Warm Air starts entering through the vents ( Recirculate is Off ) I then am forced to turn on the Air Con . I have never experienced this before in other cars . Just wanted to know if this is normal or is there a problem.

That's normal. I believe the vents for outside air comes from the front of the car. Very bottom of the windshield. You have a vent letting out hot air on your hood. Physics hehe.

I prevent that by turning off the AC & turning on the cabin circulation. The AC is off, it just blocks off the vents taking in outside air. Correct me if I'm wrong. Just stating what works for me.

What you are describing is what I would expect?

I live in Miami and the A/C impresses me, I get cool air pretty much immediately - a bit of surprise as I'm used to my older Civics having poor A/C performance.
