Well, qqzj ..... maybe the word "feature" was not the best word to use (sounds like a car salesman) .... inherent quirk would be better.
So, as I understand the situation, the "duct work" for part of the ventilation system is in the engine compartment where it gets quite warm. So the "fresh air" gets warmed up prior to arriving inside the cabin.
What to do:
* try to insulate the duct work from the engine bay heat
* punch the recirculation button to cut off part of the vent system
* turn on the A/C for a spell to cool down the ducts
* turn on the A/C and leave it on
* roll down the windows to get fresh air
So, that's my take......
