zerophile,Eco mode puts the car in recirculation 99% of the time.
Also you can auto and manually switch the recirculation off to fresh air.
Have not noticed the car switch to recirculation after manually switching it to fresh air.
JohnnySasakiMGS,Recirculating the air will cool more efficiently. Just curious, why do you not like it?
Hence why recirculate is activated when the Econ button is pushedOn hot days the AC has to work much harder if outside air is being cooled vs. recirculation of already cool air.
More work means less MPG and possibly shortens the life of the AC before repair.
Everyone is different. I have always used the Auto mode in my cars that have that option. When I get into the car after it's been parked all day, I just run the temperature selector down to 65 degrees. Once the car cools down I adjust it to a comfortable temperature like 74 degrees which slows the fan speed. It still stays in Recirculate for a long time, at least for the 30 minutes it takes me to drive home. It's been very hot here ever since I bought the car. I am curious how it works when the high temperatures are only in the low 90s. :nuts:Just turn off the auto mode, and you'll have full control over the AC, including re-circulation. I never use the auto mode. The last thing I want is for the control unit to open the air when I'm in heavy traffic. And I prefer to set my own fan speed.
I bet if you left your temp setting at 74 the car would cool down just as quickly. Try it sometime and save yourself the trouble.Everyone is different.

It's not really as much about the scent as it is about your health. Inhaling exhaust isn't good for you whether you can smell it or not.Recirculate is nice because it keeps truck/bus exhaust to a minimum inside the car. With a sensitive nose to scents it's nice to have it on.
:lmao:Ah! I agree. Using the air conditioning removes moisture from the air. On long trips it dries out my sinuses and makes the inside of my nose feel like a box of Triscuits.
