Setting to Recycle air by default?

Is there a setting where you can have the Cycle Air ( so that external air does not get it) is ALWAYS on by default?

thanks in advance.

No. It is on a timer. After a certain period of time recirculation is shut off.

It's not a good idea to have the air re-circulation on constantly.

It's very unlikely that you'll suffocate by re-circulating the air, but when the air is being constantly recycled, it'll lack oxygen content and will make you drowsy - and probably cause you to lose concentration whilst driving.

I usually leave the re-circulation off unless I'm in heavy traffic where I can smell the fumes from other cars coming in.

if eBalita is where I think he's from, he's trying to avoid an ever-present smog.
