Recirculate mode button issue?

[Legacy]

When I press the recirculate mode button it lights up a couple of seconds and then turns off again.  Usually a second press engages it properly but sometimes it takes a few goes.  Does anyone else have this issue/feature?

Never noticed something like this. Though, recently, I attempted to turn off the recirculate and found that it was already turned off. I thought I simply forgot that I had turned it off and didn't care.

I occasionally use it when I am stuck in traffic or I realise there is noticeable pollution, and never noticed it. I'll keep an eye.

Thanks - mine is due a service in a few weeks.  I'll mention it and see if they can find any issues

If you press the 'Menu' button on the climate panel, a menu opens on the radio screen. In there is an option for 'auto recirculation'. Maybe that is on, and therefor doesn't allow a manual override?

Hi,

 

Thanks - I had completely missed that menu but when I checked it tonight the 'auto recirculation' option wasn't ticked.  I'm very happy to have found it though :-)  I had assumed that my car didn't have the AQS as the Irish brochure and configurator don't mention it at all.

And also in that menu you can enable the electric supplement heater

I have also found this. when you switch the recirc on it turns the a/c on. when you turn the a/c off then the recirc cancels. it stays on however if you repeat this.

 

the recirc then tends to cancel itself after a short while which is irritating if you are trying to warm the car and don't want the a/c on.

Not for petrol powered models though.

i have tested this on mine.. even with the auto recirculation button ticked, if i press air recycle from auto, it flicks into air re-circle mode for a second and then trips back.

 

However if i press it again it stays on recircle mode.... and continues to do so repeating the process.

Yes, checked and mine does the same.

Will try disabling auto recirculation.

i am having the same problem, it is very annoying, could you find a solution? if i block the humidity sensor can it help?
