Low temp plus Low fan speed coupled with high humidity will cause moisture to freeze on the evaporator coil eventually icing it up.

Simple solution if you don't want a software patch - Set fan on auto at medium speed or greater, Set temp no lower than 72-74 degrees,
Leave air-mixture for dash vents in the middle.

Some people like really cold air but don't like to feel it blowing on them.

In 6 yrs of ownership, living in the humid SE US, I've experienced this phenomenon once.


Pro Tip: If your coil does freeze up while driving, just turn off the compressor, crack sunroof (increases the pressure differential which will increase speed of defrost), fan speed on high. The coil will defrost in about 3-5 minutes of drive time.
