It must be in the software - my '09 LE does the same thing. I just adjust the temp control up a few notches to compensate for the colder air mix. Maybe one of the Gurus out there knows why it defaults to non-recirc..?

Buying 2009 Camry LE V6; ship date Feb 08 ?

Hi everyone.
This board has so much useful advice!.
I have a dealer that would like to sell me a 2009 LE V6
He sent me the build sheet and on it says 2/20/08 for the ship date.
Does that mean the car has been on the lot since March 08?
Should I be concerned?
What about TSBs everywhere I look only has 2008 vehicles?
I just want to make sure people havent avoided this car for a major reason.
Thanks All
Tony

Sounds to me they want to move the oldest inventory, and maybe at a greater discount. Mine was built in 4/09 and purchased in the same month. I practically got it right off the transporter. Chances are it's had more than one jumpstart and has had some movement arount the dealer network. It's all what you are comfortable with. I would scout around for a "newer" one.

It'll be fine. My last two vehicles, and my fourth to last vehicles I've bought ranged from 6 months to a year on the lot. Not a problem with any of them.

I called Toyota today and they told me that it was designed this way to help defrosting. I am kind of skeptical. Would other LE owner verify this please ?

Yes, this is by design. The reason is that they designed it to avoid someone leaving it on recirculate too long and fogging up the windows so much that they cannot see and get into an accident. It will happen at temps above 45, but not as quickly as when the temp is lower.
You can defeat this design, however. If you push the recirculate button AND hold it in for 5 seconds, it will stay on recirculate until you push it again or you switch the airflow knob into or out of one of the two defrost positions.
I occasionally do this on my '07 CE (same as the LE except no power seat and no keyless entry).

I believe the owner's manual states that A/C automatically shuts off when outside temperature reaches below 45 degrees.

That may be on the newer cars. On my older Corolla, the AC still works below 45, but the compressor is only on for 10 seconds or less. I haven't noticed the Camry, I'll try to pay attention to this.

Thanks for the tip. I am going to try it next week when the temperature is expected to be below 45F.
