Vent Circulation/Interior

I did the search on this and didn't locate anything. So with that said is their anyway to circulate outside air through the vent system without having the AC on? Yes I can lower the windows, but looking for alternative also. if I select the vents and turn on the fan the A/C comes on. Vin #1908.

As long as you keep the AC temp at 62 or above. If you set at 61, even with the AC button turned off, the compressor will still turn on.

Interesting, mine will stay with just the fan at 61, but will turn the compressor on when "Lo" (no 60 like the C6).

Turn it to recirculation, and the fan off. This should allow no outside air in, but with no fan it should not do anything (or close to nothing). It will still bleed heat just like the C6 does (if your temp setting is high). When your toes are burning, to turn the temp down, turn the system on long enough to engage the fan, then turn it off again. As far as I can tell, it works just like the C6 does.
