I started driving our CX-5 more now that we replaced our older car and my wife is driving that one. In my old Honda, if I wanted heat, I*d just turn the temp knob to the red zone and hot air would come out of the vents. It didn*t matter if I had the AC on or not. I used it mostly to clear the condensation on the outside of the windshield in defrost mode.
With the CX-5, if I switch the temp to hot, I don*t feel the air coming out of the vents is very hot. I notice that the recirculate light turns off when I raise the heat setting. Then I turned off the AC and I did feel the air get warmer but not especially hot. It*s not a big deal since I live in South Florida, but this would be a big issue if I lived up north. It is an issue because I can*t clear my windshield in the mornings.
What am I doing wrong.
