AC off but ON?

[Srp166]

Sometimes I'll have the AC off, the auto off and just the fan blowing, but it gets very cold just like the AC is on. Has anyone else experienced this and how do I prevent it?

Push the right hand knob (temp control) in. The center of the knob is an on/off switch. Not very intuitive. I drove around for months with the blower always running on low because I didn't see that!

Thanks, but don't want to turn off the blower, what I'm asking is using blower only but it is definitely AC cold without it being on

If the defroster in on, it will use the AC even if it is turned off.

No, only light on is the fan. Like I said it's not all the time, guess I'll have to watch it and see what situations make it happen.

I too have noticed that in my 1 week of ownership. Following

I’ve noticed the same situation and haven’t been able to figure out when it happens. I, too, just want vent air with no AC. I’m going to ask dealership next time I’m there.

I'm wondering the same thing. I changed the temperature to 74 which should be higher than the environment temperature. But my AC is still blowing quite colder air.

Yes. Yes Y'all.

To fix mine it was one of two things:

1) I cycled every single button thinking maybe one was stuck. Maybe it was, problem went away

or

2) you need to have at least one position button pressed first, either vents, floor, windshield, before pressing any other button. Maybe this solves it. I do this, problem went away.

Ok, will give it a shot. Thanks

Hey! I can take a closer look into your A/C concerns if you like. Can you send us a direct message with your VIN and the dealership name/location?

Not a issue with hybrids A/Cs the whole engine fires situation recall and all, be glad your staying too cool.

The defroster will run when the humidity is high enough that condensate could form on windshield. The dehumidifier uses the AC!

Even though the fan is the only thing on? Is that written somewhere?

This is not it.

You probably need to do what I said above. Select position for air first. No selection it defaults to ac on.
