The first few times I drove the Subaru Crosstrek in extremely cold weather, I noticed a peculiar side effect, though I had no idea what was causing it.
Rounding a corner, after having driven about a kilometer, I was immediately assaulted by a bomb of cold air inside the car.
Wondering about this for a few days, I started paying attention to the details surrounding this intrusion, discovering that it occurred under the same conditions nearly every time.
I had been working my way through the Quick Start Guide, one piece at a time, when I ran across the statement below. It explains the cause perfectly and is easily reproduced.
7 - All Airflow On/Off Button: If only a driver is detected, airflow will come out of the driver vents only. Press this button to override this feature and direct airflow through all vents.
While I appreciate the effort, this feature makes very little sense in a car as small as this. Indeed, it can cause things to be occasionally uncomfortable for the driver. I wish there were a way to just turn it on "All" permanently.
It is a little amusing though, that it could be that identifiable.
