Recirculate/Fresh air button

Post by sealuva »

Why is it that after pressing the button to recirculate, which makes the AC work colder, after like ten minutes it goes back to Fresh air. Anyone know why this happens. 1998 S70

When it goes back to fresh air, does the light on the button change too?

Jimmy made a post about this a few weeks ago.

IIRC, try holding down the Recirculate button for 10 seconds and it will stay in the mode you set it in.

If not, I hope he chimes in with the right procedure for making it do that ;)
