    Default Recirculate button

    Right now, when I pull up behind a diesel truck, I have to hit the climate button, then the recirculate soft button on the screen to stop sucking in the fumes. I would like to suggest adding a recirculate button to the console. I could certainly see moving the TP button to the config screen.

    agree. setting the Time only happens twice a year - blocking sucking in bad air happens far more often!

    Buy a charcoal cabin filter, that should help with any unwanted exterior smells.

    Great Idea! I actually ordered a filter last night after reading about the ability to do so in another thread. Since I have a long dusty driveway, I wanted to be prepared for summer. I hadn't thought about how it might help me with exhaust fumes. I am already noticing an increased sensitivity to exhaust fumes

    Or you can just set it to permanent recycle why in most cases is more efficient. In the summer time it does not use as much energy to cool the air inside the cabin rather than drawing hot air from the outside and cooling it, the same energy savings will occur in cold weather.

    By the way it has been decades since I owned a car without A/C but I always rode with the windows down even when the temps were in the high 90s. But that changed when I got my dog. Boston terriers do not do well in the heat so now I always keep the A/C on. Dirty smelly air is not a problem where I live in SC but when I lived on Long Island I had to keep the windows up when I drove near NY city, NJ or got stuck in traffic on the LIE. I guess I am one of the odd few that likes to ride with my windows open.
