Check the "Dual" control setting if it is available on ur model. Also make sure the vents are not closed. Clean your a/c air filter. The Dual control helps to regulate the temperature between driver's side and passenger's side.

either ur refrigrant is low [leasking pipe] or ur sliding shutter of the dual climate is low [inside the dashboard].

from experience...i wud say its low refrigrant...that implies u hv a leak in the system...trace the leak first

It could be any of a number of things:
Low refrigerant. An A/C system requires a
certain amount of refrigerant to cool properly. If
low, it works less efficiently and does not cool
well.
Dirty condenser -- The condenser is the heat
exchanger mounted in front of the radiator. It
cools the high pressure refrigerant vapor after it
exits the compressor so it can condense into a
liquid. If the condenser is full of leaves, bugs
and road debris, air flow through the unit may
be blocked to the point where little cooling
occurs. Cleaning the condenser should cure the
problem.
Inoperative condenser cooling fan. The
condenser often has its own separate electric
cooling fan. This fan should come on and
remain on when the A/C system is operating. If
the fan motor, motor relay or wiring is
defective, the fan may not be working.
Air or moisture contamination -- For the
refrigerant inside the system to do its job
properly, it must not be contaminated with air or
moisture. Air reduces the cooling efficiency of
the system while moisture can freeze and form
ice that causes blockages in orifice tubes and
metering valves. Air and moisture
contamination may be the result of unrepaired
leaks in the system, or failing to vacuum purge
the system prior to recharging it with refrigerant.
Blockages -- Debris, rust or debris in the system
may plug up the orifice tube or metering valve
that admits refrigerant into the evaporator. If this
vital point becomes obstructed, the flow of
refrigerant may be restricted or blocked causing
a loss of cooling -- and possible compressor
damage as well in systems that rely on oil
circulating with the refrigerant for lubrication.
Mechanical problem -- These include things like
metering valve failures, compressor wear, a
compressor clutch that fails to engage, bad
pressure switches, etc. Pinpointing the problem
will require the skills of a competent A/C
technician

Your AC system is low on gas. Get a pressure guage to confirm this before adding any refrigerant
