Constant blowing of air to the feet

[Trudgy]

Hi there,

I have had my '24 PHEV for about 3 weeks now. One thing I can't figure out is how to stop it from blowing cold air at the feet. HVAC is off, I've even tried cranking the heat putting it to defrost, shutting off HVAC and then after a couple of mins you can feel a very very very light breeze to the feet that is really cold. Outside temp during this has been -5c to +10c . To me, it's like it's constantly bringing in outside air, but it's darn cold always blowing your feet. Is there a way to stop that? I've never experienced that in another vehicle.

On my 2018, 2022 and now my 2024 the Diverter Damper will remain in the position that was last used.

To stop cold air from blowing on to you feet (we get temperatures down to -35'C in Central Canada) so I know of what you speak of.

Do not use the HVAC in Auto. On cold days after starting the car, Click fan to one bar, select the Heat to 20'C toggle the Air Flow Control to Defrost, once the Heat Pump is putting out Heat, toggle mode to Def/Floor. I usually drive in Mode Def/Floor and turn up Fan Speed when air is warmer.
