Default Air always coming through the vents

Does anyone else have this problem? Basically at cruising speeds there is no way for me to shut the air off completely. It literally acts just like a vent even with the fan off.
Although normally it's not an issue but some mornings when it's cool in the car and humid outside I end up having to turn the AC on just to keep the humidity from blowing on my face in an otherwise comfortable enviorment.

Just hit the button that takes air from the cabin and not from outside the car and it should stop it. I'm not sure what you call the button.

I believe cars are required to have passive air flow to prevent CO build up inside the car, so even if the fan is off, you will still get air flow at speed. Maybe the S is so small, air just forces its way in unless you hit the recirc button.

Yep, turn the system all the way off then push the recirculation button. I was just telling a friend about this tonight while riding in my car. Although I could still feel some sort of heat still entering the cabin, I assume it was from the engine because it was a relatively cool night # 70deg. F
