      Not important, but in case you didn’t know – In that usage the word is ‘eke’. ‘Eek!’ is the sound you make when someone jumps out from a closet wearing a spider mask.

    My car does this automatically. If you floor it, the vents start blowing hot air.

    It does make me wonder how much it really helps.

      Like the vents start blowing hot air or the ac shuts off temporarily? If the former, then your ac probably just can’t keep up with the extra heat in the engine

    Or how about when a car is overheating and you turn on the heater for that extra bit of heat capacity?
