Bad smell after use of ACC airco

#1

If I use the airco for a while and turn it off, bad smell appears in the
car. After 5-10 minutes the air smells normal again. Is this normal?

It's caused by bacterial or fungal growth on the evaporator, it's not
"normal" but it is a very common problem with cars of all types. Do a search
in Google, there's quite a bit of information out there.
