Default Heat from drivers footwell?

I've searched...See a topic here and there but no real answers...I know that the center console/shifter area gets hot (I've experienced this and have searched to find this is normal)...BUT

I also got HOT AIR flowing from the footwell while driving...It litterally blows directly where my left knee would rest when driving...

Is this normal for everyone? It's very warm/hot air...AC on or off, doesn't matter...Is there a fix or is it normal?

Thanks

The "circulation" button must be on, the one right above the a/c button in the dash.

Sounds like you have a VTEC leak.

Its not "running" what it does is closes a "door" and will not allow air from outside to be used. You will also notice that A/C cycles more air.. The light will be on when in re-circulate mode. If you put your vents toward the windsheild it automaticlly goes to outside air because it dries the air better on outside air vs recirculate(as long as A/C is on with or without heat being used)
