Default Air conditioning problem?

Has anyone ever encountered this in their TC's?....Well what im talking about is that even if you have your AC switched off and the fans off and the temp is either hot or cold...can you guys still feel from the vents the air conditioning? See for me Ive been noticing it when i have the heat turned all the way over to read but the AC and fans are not enambled but if you have your hands over the vents you can feel the heat coming out and if it was switched over to cold you can feel the cool air coming out. I was just wondering if anyone has encountered this and if its a problem?

If you have recirc turned off, then that's normal. Personally, I like it that way since the residual heat/cooling keeps going, as long as you don't have a car with its tailpipe belching exhaust in front of you (I think the air intakes are near the front top of the car, where they can pick up exhaust from the car in front of you; always turn on recirc if you start to smell exhaust).

One nice trick with this is to crack open your sunroof; this will create a vacuum in the cabin, and the hot (or cold) air will continue to flow, but the A/C compressor and radiator cooling fan won't be running. This saves on energy and gas mileage, since you're not running the radiator fan or compressor.
