Hi,

I have been a very happy mini owner for 1 month now. But I notice one weir problem. There is hot air coming into the cabinet whenever I don't have the A/C on, even in cool days. Does anyone else have this problem? Anyone knows why?

:???:

Tony,

Closing the vent sure 'solves' the problem. But isn't it better to let the car 'breathe' leaving the vent open?

I will try to turn the temp down and see what happens. Thanks for replying.

Yes. Turn the temp down before turning off. That did it for me.

haibo,

it depends on the weather and how fast you drive to leave the vent open. if you are going speeds that exceed 70 then open the vent if not the vents will begin to whisle..............I had a similar situation to your problem.........it was because i left my ac temp like 70 when the outside them was like 63........................but I always try to open my vents.........and windows when i can.........


motor on

I think they mean the air recirc button that is stopping out side air from getting in the car when you push the button and the light is on
