Hyundai Tucson has most of these features, except they aren't rude. There are rude features.
When you park the car and hit the pushbutton start/stop, it locks the back doors. Who thought this was a good idea?
You want to circulate air? (because you are driving by the dump or in traffic) Push a button. It turns back to outside air after a time. Maybe this is to deter people from gassing themselves. What's that say about Hyundai owners, yikes!
- lsaferite 3y agoThe auto-revert on air recirculation is a new one for me. I have a Kia and I'm pretty sure the systems are identical, so I'm going to see if mine does the same.
- Rebelgecko 3y agoI think the trait I've noticed in my car is that the recirculation turns off if you put the HVAC on "auto". There's a cool feature where it automatically turns on in certain situations like in tunnels. I wish I could add my own recirculation areas since i often drive by a smelly sewage treatment plant.
- Johnny555 3y agoIt turns back to outside air after a time My mini cooper does the same -- the online consensus seems to be that it does that to prevent moisture buildup inside the car fogging up the windows. But it sure is annoying during wildfire season when I'm trying to avoid poor air quality outside, I wish they had an override like if you hold the switch down for 5 seconds, it stays in that mode.
- pornel 3y agoSwitching to outside air after a while makes sense — CO2 levels in a small closed space quickly go up, and high CO2 impairs concentration.
- callalex 3y agoIn every car I’ve ever looked into, the baffle that selects between recirculate and windshield intake is intentionally leaky enough to prevent CO2 and moisture buildup even in full recirculate mode.
- callalex 3y agoI have the opposite air circulation problem with 2013-present Toyota/Lexus models. If you press the pollen filter button (which turns on an ionizer before the filter to make big particles get easily captured by the filter) will automatically set the car to recirculate to help ensure maximum filtration and minimum sneezing. After a few minutes it turns off the ionizer, but also switches back to outside air, throwing away all the carefully cleaned air and triggering a guaranteed sneeze attack after waiting long enough for you to get on the high speed freeway.
- pixl97 3y agoHello Hyundai owner... Evidently you live in a cool environment. When looking online I see this >That function is called "Automatic Ventilation". Anytime temp is below 59 degrees and recirc is selected for more than 5 min the recirc will automatically change to outside air. However this auto feature can be cancelled. There is a simple procedure outlined in owners manual. It's on page 4/86 in my 2015 Accent owners manual. It's one of those hidden features buried deep in owners manual. Check your manual and there's likely a way to turn it off.
