I've looked through this forum but haven't found anything about it yet, but is there a way to make the AC default to the fresh air setting? No matter what I do, whenever I start the car or turn the AC on period, it puts itself in recirc mode. It's a very minor annoyance, but I prefer to have the AC default to fresh air mode unless I set it to recirc. I also read through the manual but didn't see anything in there either.

 

I keep mine in "Auto" mode. It starts in recirc, but after it cools to a certain point, it changes itself to fresh automatically. Works fine this way for me.

 

Ive only had my 16 for a few months but noticed the same behavior as Marc (NJ). Not sure how it will act when winter comes.

 

Had my car since July last year and it works fine in the winter. Stays in the fresh air mode when heating. If it didn't the windows could fog up.
