![Question](https://acurazine.com/forums/images/icons/icon5.gif)
on the AC, there is a "fresh/vent" button? well, i personally like to have the AC on "fresh" (or recirculate) all the time. if it's in the "vent" mode, i smell other cars fumes, which i hate.
well, too often the AC switches to "vent" automatically and i have to press the button to get back to "fresh".
is there a way to permanently keep in on "fresh"?

If you push the recirculate button, it doesn't switch over; it only switches over if it's so hot the car automaytically goes into recirculate and the after the car cools down it goes to fresh air mode automatically. If you manually turn on recirculate, it shouldn't switch over to fresh.

well how about when the AC is on recirculate and then you push the "off button", then the recirculate turns off and the air from outside starts to get into the car. Is there a way to turn it "off" and not have the outside air come in without having to push the recirculate button?

unless you rewire the ac and such-i think you will have to keep pressing the recirculate/vent button. on an open road vent is cool. but i feel you-in jersey, there arent many open roads to utilize the vent option.
maybe there is a fuse???

Mine has never done this but that might be because I dont use auto. I control the temp and fan speed manually and it stays on recirc. I also switch to fresh and turn the a/c off about 2 minutes before shutting it down so it doesnt get all moldy smelling. 5 years later it is still fine.

yes, the only way to turn the AC on is by pressing the auto button. should be an ON button instead of AUTO. i dont understand it myself...
i NEVER use the auto function on the AC knob, but the screen always says auto. i always set the temp and fan manually.
did i mention that i HATE it when it automatically goes into VENT mode?

the auto BUTTON is the only way to turn the AC on.
there's also the auto SETTING on the temp knob (which i never use). since i dont use the auto SETTING, then why the hell does it go into VENT mode if it's not on that auto SETTING? this is why it's an issue to me.
it's really no big deal, but like you mentioned it is a nusicance...i deal with it EVERY DAY...

BUY MY CL - see garage!
leaving on recirc is dangerous. on a long ride you can use all the oxygen in the car.
i know it seems stupid, but keep a car on recirc, then take a 2hr drive - you get VERY sleepy
