Hello, This may be a dumb question, but here goes:
When the control **** is turned to off position why does air still come in through the vent? Anyone else having this happen or is it just me? And if you did have this happen how did you fix it. Like I said this may be dumb question but when you turn somethin off it should be off.
Micro.

If you want it to stop then press the recirculation button and it will close the external vents that let air in while you drive.

You need some air cirulation. It's supposed to let some air in. Like JDog said, you can switch to recirculation. This is a good idea if you are behind a smelly bus or in a smokey area, but you really shouldn't dvie with it closed all the time. Could get pretty stuffy in there.

Why you want to paint your dash trim like that?

LoL!! Recirc is also good to use when it's raining outside. Keeps the moisture out of your car, and the a/c will help dry out the interior if it's too moist.

The manual recommends you to keep the air flow open all the time. The reason is that if you keep it off, condensation might develop some where in the system, and then you end up with a weird smell from some fungus.
