Default Has anyone been doing Air Conditioner maintenance?

I realized I had my tC2 for 6 Years and I have never had the AC Serviced. Is there a protocol? I blow cold.
But lately when I am hard on the throttle (merging on a Highway) my AC Blows luke warm for a few seconds.

There is No A/C Service Protocol listed in my 2015 tC2 Warranty and Maintenance Guide. It goes up to 120,000 miles or 144 months (12 years).
My tC2 is 3 years old and the A/C never been serviced. At Setting 1, my A/C cold will still blow you away.

My Suggestion is anything over 5 years unless you are experiencing problems earlier than that should have the A/C Check / Serviced.

Same here. A lot of smaller-engined newer cars turn off the a/c automatically under hard acceleration to give maximum power to the to the motor. I'm in a lot of rental cars for work and experience this as well in them. It's totally normal.

Thanks Y'all, I'll consider this normal. It just more obvious during the summer months. I had my old tC1 for 6 years, and my current tC2 for 6 years and never had an AC Issue or AC Service.
