Climate control Auto button

Would just like to confirm with another 2015 XF owner that the Auto button for climate control operates as on on/off switch. On my car the button only turns the climate control on. When On a second press does not turn it off.

regards

it is not an on/off switch...pressing the fan speed knob is an on/off switch.
the auto button will simply take over the controls automatically....adjusting fan speed (and i think direction) as necessary. to disable the auto, turn the fan speed knob and that will put it into manual

apprectate the info and the fan control does indeed turn the “auto” button off. My question was based on info in the owners manual that states “Auto control: Press to switch automatic operation on/off”. In my car it only turns Auto on.

What I’m really after is a way to get just fresh air into the cabin

Aside from recirculating the air already in the cabin I’m not sure what the recirculate button would accomplish in terms of introducing ambient air into the car but maybe I’m mistaken

What are you thinking the recirc button does?

What it really does: It controls the flapper that either recirculates the cabin air or lets outside air mix into the cabin air.
