Theres no ECO mode for AC in US/Canadian CX-5 even with Automatic Climate Control / dual-zone system.As per my above comment, have you made sure ECO mode is off (uhm)
ECO mode does reduce cooling/heating performance.
Hi, I bought my cx-5 last year and I used the ac for te first time last week.
Is it me or the Ac on this car is absolutely rubbish. Even at max it doesnt do a good job at all.
I went to the dealer and they said that everything is ok.
After 10-15 minutes with the ac on at max, you should be freezing.
Thank you
OkThere’s no “ECO” mode for AC in US/Canadian CX-5 even with Automatic Climate Control / dual-zone system.
CX5 just has bad HVAC. It blows from all vents at once, in varying degrees, no-matter what the vent selection dial is set on. It's just "meh" all the way around. Similar in performance to my 1988 Mustang GT was back in 2005-ish. Deal with it or buy a nicer car, basically.
PS. Wait until you get to winter and try to use the heat, ROFL!
Speak for yourself. My heater is awesome. My AC just needs servicing which will bring it back to its freeze out performance.CX5 just has bad HVAC.

It had to have been run, it's tied in to the defrosters, but you're right on the other part. If the system isn't run the seals in the compressor dry up from lack of lubrication from the compressor oil and the freon will seep outOne thing should be noted from OP's first post - "I bought my cx-5 last year and I used the ac for te first time last week."
Could be that since the system was stagnant for such a long time, maybe the gas/hose/mechanics are not working properly.
I remember years ago being told to turn on the A/C at least once a month to let it run so the hoses, gas, compressor etc operate as they should if the A/C unit is not used during normal driving during that month.
Did a little test this morning. Turned AC to Max. Couldn't leave it like that for more then a few minutes. Freezing my balls off.Did a little test yesterday. Outside temp was 68 The air coming out of the central vent was oscillating between 37 and 41 fahrenheit.
We already know Unobtains car is a lemon. [emoji39]
I've noticed when you get on the gas pedal the AC turns a little warmer until you let the pedal go or get up to speed.
That’s something most cars do to help acceleration.
I’ve had no issues with the ac nor the heat in our ‘17.
116 is getting up there. At a certain point it’s just plain hot whether you are in Phoenix, Bangkok, or the Sandpit.
