Air Conditioning

As the temperatures in Florida, Arizona, etc are rising, I am wondering if H2 owners in these areas are still unhappy with the interior temperature of their vehicles. ???

I live in Jacksonville, FL and my A/C rocks!!
but I do have a strange issue with the recirlculate button?? Sometimes when I push the "recirc" button it doesn't respond... sometimes it does... wierd! but no matter what, if you put it on auto, then 60.... it'll switch over to recirculate. Anyone else have this?

I'm still figuring out how to have the recirc button on "default on".
I read in the "HVAC" chapter of the Service Manual, that setting it to "default on" is possible with the "scan tool".
Might this be the hand hald electronic box, with which the service man checks out the vehicle?

My recirculate comes on automatically when it is hot. I don't know how it was set up or if the dealer did it for me.

We have been in the low 100s - My white H2 works great - I found that the auto mode set to about 72-73 works great (even in the back third seat) the recir will activate at various time during the ride. During the day I keep my sunroof panel closed to help (at night I totally open the sunroof for the view.

Finaly found out how to have the A/C on "RECIRC mode on" as a default always.
Like some of you had advised I tried hitting the RECIRC button while in AUTO mode, and programming that setting as the driver prefered setting.
As I live in the tropics the temp is usually set to lowest (15 degrees Centigrade).
In AUTO mode this lowest temp setting leads to maximum and near-stereo-muting fan speed.
But finaly (duh!) I found out, if left in AUTO mode and just turning the temp up a bit clockwise (drivers and/or passenger side, this eventually lowers the fan speed without the RECIRC mode disengaging. Tada!
Now when ever I start the engine, the RECIRC button will light up after a few secs without having to push it. Another victory!

PS My A/C cools also very well when the engine is idling. So I don't have to rev it to get better cooling.
