How does one know if the feature is functional? Should I be able to hear something or feel a noticeable difference at the vents?

Thanks! Brian
It is an 11 year old car, sometimesthese things don't work as they should.

Wagons have a lot of glass around them, which makes them get hotter inside. Also, there is more interior surface to cool down.

My suggestion is to drive with the windows down until all the hot air is out...then wait until the fall to have it fixed...right now demand for a/c repairs is very high....
