a/c recirculates automatically ?
The ocd is kicking in hard now! Here's one that's been bugging me for a month now.
When I turn the a/c on, it automatically switches to recirculating air, which I hate! I have to manually switch it back over to outside air (when I remember to look down). Is this standard? Any way to change it in the menu that I've missed? it's not a big deal- just a pain in the ***.
Thanks in advance for helping alleviate my ocd!

That is normal because it is to hot inside your car and it tries to cool down. Once the A/C see that in the interior of the car is the same as the temp set it will change.
You can test this out by turning the a/c and moving the temp dial hotter and you will see it change. very normal.

I may be wrong, but I always thought the system first goes to recirculate whenever the outside air temperature is greater than the inside setting. This is in order to cool down the inside a bit faster rather than letting in very hot air.
On similar note, when starting out on a hot day with an inside temperature of 130 degrees or more, I open both windows as I drive off until it comes down to a tolerable level.
