I live in a very humid enviroment. I started turning off the A/C before I get home, but then I started to get a funky smell. I stopped doing that hoping to take the smell to the dealer, but then it disappeared. I'm not sure if my afterblow is on or not. I'm always in recirculate mode.I Had it on before on another cruze, Doesn't help at all getting rid of the Mold smell,
Bingo.Need to get this done myself.
So will having this HVAC afterblow feature activated allow us to now have the Air Conditioner blasting during summer drives and not have to worry at all about cutting the A/C off prematurely of our intended destination in order to give time to blast regular air through the vents and avoid mildew buildup?
If you already have mold/mildew this by itself won't kill the smell. You still need to get the system cleaned out. Once clear then the afterblow feature helps keep the mold/mildew at bay by drying out the system. As for recirc, afterblow always comes through the fresh air vents. The car will resume recirc mode when you start the car again.I Had it on before on another cruze, Doesn't help at all getting rid of the Mold smell, in fact I think it just stinks the car up more.. On my current cruze I don't have it on and its just fine, just remember to turn on the non recurclate more....

Correct.....up to one hour after shutoff.I was told the blower motor would cycle several times over a one to two hour period after you turn the engine off.
My understanding is it's only if certain conditions are met - presumably it means you'd have to be using the A/C.Does this run after every shutdown or does it only run if A/C has been used during the drive? For example, I don't see much benefit of running this feature in November.
