I tried to activate "Automatic air intake control" but, apparently, don't have this feature on my N-connecta. Anyone with higher trims tried this function? I think it should recirculate automatically when bad air from outside is sensed.

Interesting - no one's mentioned that setting before.

Also comparable - on my Ignis if I set the climate to AUTO the air intake control is by default varied according to the requirement:

If “AUTO” switch (8) is pushed, the air
intake will vary automatically as the climate
control system maintains the selected temperature.


... so it works by on a cold day putting the air intake into recirc temporarily to warm the car up quicker and on a hot day putting the air intake into recirc temporarily to cool the car down quicker.

Nothing to do with pollution I'm afraid.
