wab Posted June 3, 2013 Report Share Posted June 3, 2013 Recirc without a/c will build up humidity. Was his a/c off? Auto mode will select a/c to clear windows. "Was his a/c off?"Yep,it's a Honda...no auto mode. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fotomoto Posted June 4, 2013 Report Share Posted June 4, 2013 Wasn't the thread over/resolved at post #9 anyways? The thread continued to counter misconceptions about car air conditioning. There's no danger from recirc mode in a moving vehicle nor does one need to turn off electric a/c to lessen start up loads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
different drummer Posted January 16, 2014 Report Share Posted January 16, 2014 I fixed it. The trick was to go to the Climate control screen, turn it off from there, and then turn the car off with the Climate screen displayed (not Nav, or Entertainment, etc). Now the climate control stays off when we start up, no matter what screen was displayed, like normal. Thank you all for the help and advice! Hope this helps someone, someday. Hi Hatchman, Well this helped someone, this day. Been having the same problem since last time my car went in for a recall plus hatch/latch problem. Tried this out and it seems to be working, although nobody knows why. Thanks for the help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adrian_L Posted February 10, 2015 Report Share Posted February 10, 2015 I was always "taught" that the recirculation setting is basically for a traffic jam in a tunnel or when you're stuck behind a nasty diesel bus. What advantage is there to having recirculation on? Is the school of thought similar to a forced-air furnace (warmer air from the room is pulled down and re-heated rather than colder air pulled in from outside)?

Bugblndr Posted February 10, 2015 Report Share Posted February 10, 2015 In all my vehicles I use recirc for more heat on the coldest winter days or more cooling on the hottest days. It's easier to heat up air that is already warm and easier to cool air that is already a lower temperature than the outside air. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
