If it bothers you, you can push the recycle button and it doesn't let air flow through the vents.

Yea, you can control the temp to a certain extent even when the a/c is off. You just can't make the temp any lower than the outside temp. Unless you have it on recirculate, the vents are open to the outside air and thus, air will flow in.
