Circulate cabin air without the AC?
Question:
Is it possible to have the air set to circulate the cabin air without the AC on? Makes me nuts when I'm driving through a dusty area or stuck behind a bus with stinky exhaust that I can not set to circulate without turning the AC on. Is there any way around this?

I'm thinking after the heat has been running for a certain amount of time or once it detects the need for heat, the AC automatically turns off in circulation mode...but the AC will always turn on every initial start.
That's my wild guess, so don't quote me on that.

When you recirculate the air, the system will condition the air to keep humidity (fogging up windows) to a minimum or non-existent side effect.
NOW - my question: If the system is off - and it is set for fresh air - why doesn't any air come through the vents? Every car is setup with air recirculation venting, to allow fresh air to circulate in the car when the system is off. Every car I have ever had worked this way. It's for carbon monoxide poisoning safety.

I rarely use my A/C. It has to be 90+ degrees outside for me to turn it on. People here in SoCal are too funny. They drive around all the time with the windows up. Even on a nice day. Pop the dang window and enjoy nature, they should do.
Anyway, I just close the vent by hitting to circulate button. My A/C does not come on. You might want to get that checked out.
