Couple questions for you guys. Whenever I start my LS, it is always in recirculating mode. Is there a way to set it to always start in the fresh air setting, or whatever setting it was at when I turned the car off. Is this something that the dealer can program?
Also, whenever I park the car, I always put it on the fresh air setting. When does it switch to recirculating? Does it switch it over when I turn the car off, or when I turn it back on?

Mine never really switches to fresh air when I leave it on Auto Mode unlike my other cars. I don't know if the Maryland weather really affects it that much due to the humidity, and also I think I may need to clean the smog sensor. I am not sure if that would help as well, but it may be pretty clogged since the car came from California.

Yeah, I had played around with the settings. I put it to the least sensitive and it almost always stay at the recirculate. As for the cleaning, I need to get my trusty hand tools and lazy butt out into the garage and in this humidity.

I don't think there's a way to change that as the default program, I agree that it should be where you left it when you stopped the car, just like the temperature setting.
Fortunately, I almost always want the recirculate option as I live in a really hot climate, but I had a car before that would do the opposite and default to the outside air every time and it got annoying to always switch it.

I was just at the dealer today and completely forgot to ask about it.
