Now that the weather is getting cooler is yours still staying on all the time? Mine is and I would think as the outside temps cool this wouldn't stay on all the time.It seems that the recirculate button is always active, when I turn it off it switches off the automatic function. With A/C on and I turn the temp to say 80 it still stays on. Is this normal?
What temp setting do you have your system set at? I have mine set @ 75.My recirculate button works as it should. It goes off once the interior of the car reaches my desired temperature in AUTO mode. In other words, it doesn't always stay on.
Its purpose is to quickly cool (or warm) the interior by keeping warm (or cold) outside air from entering the cabin until your desired temperature is reached. It only stays on as long as it's needed.
I keep mine set at 74° all year long. My recirculate feature operates as I describe earlier, i.e, to quickly cool down or warm up as necessary. It goes out when my desired temperature is reached inside the cabin (AUTO mode only w/windows and moonroof closed).What temp setting do you have your system set at? I have mine set @ 75.
I keep mine in Auto mode all the time too. Do you have the Econ on/off or do you keep it in Sport mode? From the thread I referenced in my previous post and what I saw in the manual it kinda makes sense why it is staying in recirculate as it's more efficient to recirculate the cool air versus cooling hot air from outside.I keep mine set at 74° all year long.

Note: If you manually turn on the recirculate feature it will never go off. It only goes on and off while in full AUTO mode.

Ok, I think your setting of Econ off is verifying what I have discovered in my research.... w/that set to off then recirculate will not remain on as much (all the time). I have switched my Econ to off but it will be a few days before I will be back in it to confirm recirculate not staying on. Thanks for your help/tip.My Climate Control settings: TEMP -- 74°, AUTO -- On, SYNC -- On, ECON -- Off, SPORT -- Off.
NOTE: In the summer, I open the windows for a short distance to let hot air out. This helps cool down the cabin faster. Hence, recirculation doesn't have to work as hard, and thus doesn't remain on as long. This tip is also mentioned in the User's Manual, page 239.
Reference the my note in post #9 ... Do you drive the 1st few miles with the windows up or down? This will definitely make a difference, especially considering you're trying to get the cabin to 69°.This is interesting to read. I've driven 17,000+ miles since the first of July and have never seen recirculation off.
I have mine set to Auto, econ off, etc. but it has been hot and my temp is set to 69. I didn't think it ever turned off recirulation mode automatically.
BTW... my settings are the same as described in his post above w/the only variation is I have my temp set at 75°My Climate Control settings: TEMP -- 74°, AUTO -- On, SYNC -- On, ECON -- Off, SPORT -- Off.
