Does anybody know how to use recycled air without having the AC turning on ?
Can the AUTO fan mode be used without the A/C as well ???

 

You can have it in auto fan, but push the button to disengage the ac. But when you turn the car off and back on, it will re-engage the ac. It is a bit annoying, but I guess it is no different than cars that have a separate ac button. I find I need it most of the time, anyway to deal with the humidity in the air. That is, when I turn it off, my windows usually fog up some. I would think the same thing would work regarding the recycle mode. Haven't tried. Hey...will be in your area next week...coming up to support the Vanguard D&B Corp from Santa Clara in the Rose Parade. Looking forward to visiting your fair city! But I'll miss my Z!!! There will be seven of us in a Lincoln Navigator...oh boy!

Have fun at the Rose Parade, Pasadena is a beautiful city.

 

Don't believe you can run "recycle" without the AC on; been that way in every car I have owned, as far as I remember. The auto default to AC is somewhat annoying though.
