Default Heat / AC Climate Issue

For some reason it seems as though I only have a Hot / Cold setting. Changing the temp to 65 or 66 doesn't make much of a difference, the air still blows out very hot. If I turn the setting to "cold" then it comes out cold other than that all the settings are Hot.

Is this typical and standard like that or does anyone have any suggestions?

Default

depends how cold you air inside the car is...

see it uses a cabin air temp sensor to define how much heat should come out

so if the car is 32 degrees inside the cabin , then any setting above cold will get you hot hot air, until the sensor sees it approach closer to 65then it slowly mix's in colder air to maintain..65.

but under normal temperatures like the summer or fall or spring,yes changing from 66 to 70 actually changes the temp of the air coming from the vents, it is not a 2 temp system where you only have Hot or cold,it mix's the air.
