There is no button that allows air to flow in the cabin w\o fan assistance. Can anyone confirm?
So today I RTFM. The recirculation button has three settings (i thought only two):

1. Manual auto-recirc. (M lighted) Air will be recirculated regardless.

2. Auto-recirc. (A lighted) Outside air will brought in until the filter thinks it sucks and then will recirc.

3. No recirc. (nothing lit) Outside air will brought in regardless.

To get 3 one press the recirc button quickly twice.
