Turning AC off, how does it feel?
Besides getting hotter I notice it gets humid very fast, anyone else notice this?
Even when cool outside and AC is off it gets uncomfortable after only a few minutes. And not sure if humid is the right word maybe "stuffy", and this with fans on and fresh air circulating throughout the cabin.
Never had a car quite so uncomfortable with AC off on a cool day. Kinda strange, anyone else notice this?

I also live in the Mid-Peninsula of Bay Area. Currently my house's weather monitor shows that the outdoor humidity is 76% and 59F. I gues the local weather has been quite humid lately, may be that contributes a little to the stuffy cabin feeling...?
For my car, I program it to 'Auto 66F' with my key (using the Chrono Package Plus function), so I guess my A/C is always automaticfally ON whenever I drive the car...
However, my car even with A/C on, always has a little foggy area on the windowshield area that is above the steering wheel. The foggy area usually goes away as soon as I drive the car on freeway...
With best regards,

The moisture in the system is normal, and is what you see in virtually all cars. It is usually recommended that you turn the AC off for a few minutes prior to turning off the car, so that you can dry out the system and avoid mildew.
The foggy area in the windshield is condensation of outside air located where the AC is blowing against the windshield.
...I think that's what's going on?
