Hi, I am a C200/W204 owner and want to have the air-con default to recirculate when I start the car. It defaults to outside air ... any way to program this setting?

Any advice much appreciated, cheers.

 

Had the same issue and was told by the local dealers that this is a default setting. It will always revert to external air.

 

Hi Chunson, thanks for the reply. Yep, I think this is another case of Mercedes figuring they know better ... even if we put the recirculate on, after a while it reverts to outside air ... maybe they figure we will all go to sleep on recirculate or something ... anyway, thanks again, cheers.

 

I also facing the same issue, somemore, the button light is always block by our own left leg. This is the default setting and nothing we can do much, may be at European countries air outside is always better than inside the car.

 

This issue has caused me to rethink ownership of my C200. I'm sick and tired of having to remember to turn on recirculated air everytime I start the car. Is there a way to change the default setting?
