If you don't want any hot air you should turn the dial to a cooler setting. Even on 0 a small amount of air will flow, I guess to ensure that no one will ever suffocate in the car and to get fresh air circulating.

Your vents maybe open. You know the sliding bar under the turning ****. Make sure it is to the left (the little car with the arrows circulating inside the car)

If it's to the right, hot air is still going to blow when you drive.

Yeah, make sure your vents are closed.

Vents

My PR5 does the same thing, just turn it to a cooler setting or shut your vents, and this should solve your problem.

if the vent is open and the temperature dial is in the heating position the force of air will be pushed inside, its normal and as said above turn the vent to recirculate...

Unless you drive around during summer with you heat on it won't be a problem either. When you have the temp set in the blue, it will blow unheated outside air in, so just use your A/C...

The solution for this is to switch from outside air to recirculated air. Then nothing blows thru the vents with the fan dial on "0".

or you could blast the air
and open your windows and enjoy
the nice cold refreshing air of the winter

(not that I do that)

just a thought

The reason this happens is because air is still passing through your vent, to fix it, just set the air to RECIRC instead of {the other setting}...
