Replying to: foxwalker (Apr 12, 2009 3:15 am) I know why you have a complaint. In winter, I have to sniff others' tailpipes until I set the climate control to recirc. In summer the gym sock odor comes thru during the nightime. Perhaps Toyota will come up with a sensor that recognizes malodorous air and takes care of it automatically. I know that Mercedes-Benz has a "pollution" sensor on their climate control, but there is still a problem with the gym sock odor due to the heater/ac case being designed to allow condensation water to sit and "brew".

Replying to: foxwalker (Apr 12, 2009 3:15 am) 100% manual or 100% recirc is not an option. Especially when the heater is in use. 100% manual defeats the design feature of the Automatic Climate Control. 100% recirc is not allowed since too much recirc air causes drowsiness.
