Air recirculation mode auto-disables itself
I have a 2022 X5 hybrid, I have been bothered by this supposed issue of the air recirculation mode disabling itself. Basically, I push the recirculating button, it lights up but then after a minute or two, it turns itself back off.
I took it in to the dealership thinking something was broken, however when I got there they told me that it is not broken, it is a "feature", basically the car decides if it is worth recirculating air based on climate conditions (moisture, temperature, they didn't really have a rational explanation to be honest). So, my question is two-fold: 1. Is it indeed true that it is normal for the car to switch air recirculation mode off whenever it thinks appropriate. If so, what is the full rationale here? 2. Is there any code we can change with bimmercode to disable this? Thank you in advance! |

As outlined in your owners manual, the climate control system determines if fresh air should be used or not and it can not be coded off.

as mentioned, already addressed in the manual. I have the 45e. (interesting how the wording varies between variants)

Ok thanks guys, I missed that from the manual. Still a bummer though, usually the condensation is taken care of if AC is running. Also, the dealership mentioned it might also be related to EPA emissions.
I am not a fan of being forced smelling exhaust while stuck in traffic, I would rather deal with condensation |

I have never seen the recirculating mode being automatically re-enabled. For me it does the same thing all the times. I enable it, 1m goes by and it disables itself. Never comes back on.
