3) When I turn on the AC, it seems to ignore the temperature setting and always blast icy cold air. The "auto" feature seems to control the only the fan speed and not the air temperature?
1. I have wondered that myself, and I did not get a keyring Need to talk to my CA about that.

2. You have the Through Loading option (part of the Cold Weather package) and the bar is for supporting the backend of skis. It attaches to the two uprights in the back of the trunk. See owners manual page 100.

3. I think that is how all my car air conditioners have worked, they cool air to the max but the fan controls the flow (and effectively the amount of cooling). The center vents supposedly can mix in some outside air with the little thumb wheel, but I have never seen that being effective.
