no idea, but I'm sorry to hear it's driving you nuts. I think the best solution is going for a long drive and enjoying that.

When in auto, it will use recycle if it feels the difference between outside temp and inside requirement is large.
This gets the inside temp down fastest.

This may not be visible on the display, but probably gets left in place when switching to manual.

Does it stay on recycle on manual if you wind the required temp up closer to the ambient temp?

Its not aircon, its climate control
Its supposed to go onto recirc if the tem in the car is significantly hotter than the temp you've just dialled in. It will stop being on recirc once the temp comes down.
System a bit too sophisicated for you after a Smart car? laugh

Believe it or not, I find the ambient temperature in the Smart more comfortable than the V12! - Especially following the last few days of heat, I think the heat from the engine doesn't help the cabin temp.
