Keeping cabin fresh air vent turned off

I don't think it's a question of turning something off. The default mode is for the recirc to be turned off.
So I may misinterpret what you're asking, but I think what you're wanting to research is how to permanently turn the recirculation on.
I have no answer, but please let us know if you find a way to do it.
From our experience, when we turn the recirc on, it is only for a limited period, and reverts back to the fresh air operation after x minutes (I'm sure it's documented in the owners manual or Topix system description, but I'm not motivated to look for the specifics).

Thank god cars are not hermetically sealed, so you propably will not die for lack of oxygen when you set re-circulation permanently. However: You will get more pollution, since air will flow in to the cabin thru caps when driving, instead of thru pollen air filter located in the dash..

Sorry. Don´t know the answer, exept that holding the button longer will keep the setting until next start-up. Btw: The active carbon models works quite well for the smells. Avoid cheap non-brand ones, they are just colored...

Interesting that I remember many years ago that some car handbooks stated that re-circulation should not be used for prolonged periods, hence the timer feature, due to stale air being circulated which could possible not be so good for you, of course all those years ago I don't think we had ever heard of a pollen filter !
