Starting Conditions:
A/C = OFF
Blower Fan = OFF
Recirculation = OFF
Outside temp = 54 F
Observation:
Incomming air is significantly warmer than 54 F.
Pressing Temp UP/DOWN control on steering wheel does nothing.
Work Around:
Turn on A/C or Blower motor
Turn temp to MAX Cold
Turn [strike]on[/strike][insert]off[/insert] A/C or Blower motor
Conclusion:
Heat still being applied to incomming air, despite my desire to have the system OFF. Further, OFF cannot be used to describe the HVAC system of a Toyota Prius, as it will still try to match thermostat temperature.
