why does the 2007 honda civic hybrid A/C turn off at low speeds or in city...
 

...driving? It is very annoying? It takes forever for the cabin to cool down on hot days. It appears the compressor turns off during slow city driving. Once you get on the highway for extended periods the A/C does fine. But once you slow down the air coming out of the vents is noticably hotter.

It is the way that all hybrids are setup. When you are driving at under 35 MPH the car is running off the electric motors. Once you reach 35 MPH the gas motor turns on. The AC compressor is operated off a belt that is run by the gas motor, hence the reason why under 35 MPH the AC does not work.

that is hybrid looks like..
