Hi
I can't seem to do the right setting to stop fumes from cars in front of me entering the cabin.
I switch on the middle console which in turn i can switch on A/c and next to a/c is a button which indicates air flowing round only inside the car - so i switch that on, but there is still air entering the cabin from the vents!
Even with everything switched off fumes/air still enter the vents.
Help!
Stopping fumes entering

It seems you are doing things correctly, take a look at the attachment and see if it helps you.
Definitely on our QQ it works by shutting off the outside air as yesterday we had a two stroke bike in front and the fumes were horrendous. Perhaps you have an opening or a plug missing which is allowing the fumes in. This should not be as fumes are dangerous, it would appear a visit to your Dealer is a Must ! - Dave

OK, take a look at these. I think it is just a matter of playing around with the System, all new stuff takes time to understand and get confident with - Dave

As far as I am aware the recirculation setting only works with the heater/aircon switched on. When you switch it off the flapper/valves inside the ducting revert back to the open position. This has been the case in my previous vehicles over the years.

If it's so then Nissan have made a Stupid mistake as in MOST OTHER CARS you can stop fumes entering the cabin WITHOUT having to switch-on heater/aircon! Sometimes it's just a lever which you change from right to left.
