Re: climate control problem

You cannot get hot air out of anything but the floor or the defroster. Hot air comes out the floor, cold air comes out the vents, unless it's in "defrost" mode. The "vent" switch just opens the fresh air vent, moves the temperature door to "full cold" and shuts off the automatic climate control. There is also no way to adjust the temperature in this mode either. It irritates me too since sometimes I want hot air blowing on me, not just at my feet.

Re: climate control problem

There is no solution. This is just the way its made in our cars. Nothing to change or fix. Just get used to it.

Re: climate control problem

Maybe there could be a solution. My JDM SVX does blow warm air on the vent setting. I'm assuming it was setup at the factory to do this, if not I guess it is broken.

I know when I picked it up last winter it was very nice to warm up the cold fingers when getting in the car at -25 degC.

Re: climate control problem

Sometimes I think my pants are on fire =D. I kinda of like it because when I have hot air blowing near my face my eyes get irritated.
