Today our temps were in the high 90's (northeast)and very humid. This is really the first time I've had the air conditioning working at full throttle.

It just seems that the air is just barley blowing cold. Has anyone else experienced the same problem or is this normal? I was the only passenger and would think that the car wouldn't be too comfortable if I had a full load of passengers.

thanks......

I never thought of using the recirculate button. I usually do leave the window cracked open for a little bit to give the car a chance to vent off some that very hot air. And to tell you the truth, I'm surprised that the graphite leather doesn't hold as much heat as I though it would on these hot days.

thanks for the advice--I'll give it a try.

Thanks Yannis, that did the trick....

Should have read the manual maybe????
Anyway, appreciate the good advice....

You must not be in manual mode for maximum cooling effect. Set the temperature at 64 (when you get in the very hot car) and push the AUTO feature on the vent selection. That will set the fan at a very high speed. Lower your front windows for about 45 seconds or so (to blow most of the interior's hot air outside) and then after you close the windows push the recirculation button. I bet you in about 2 minutes or so, you will feel the difference. Let the automatic climate control do the work. As the interior cools off, gradually, start bringing the thermostat settings up from 64 to 68, to 70 and deactivate the recirc button, too!. The fan speed will start subsiding on its own and you will have a "perfect" interior temperature. I did not have any problems with my car and I have the Graphite Leather interior as well (we are at a slight disadvantage over those who have light interiors).
