Sorento 2024 Recirculation Won't Stay On (with sunroof open)

Guys, any intel on how to keep the recirculation button ON while driving with the sunroof open?

I know there's a TON of thoughts on the recirculation and how/when to use it. BUT, I live in a warm area and when driving with the sunroof open I don't want the blast of hot air to come through the vents.

The system automatically turns off the recirculation after 3 minutes. Just curious if there is a way to keep it on with the sunroof open. I've checked other forums and some have a system combo you can use to disable it, but none for Sorento. Any ideas? I selected the option to disable the Auto Ventilation but the system resets after 3 mins. Thanks for any help or tips.

Thanks for the reply. C-Trink but no luck.


@WifesSorento I have no intentions of having the recirc system run, I simply want the vents closed while the sun roof is open. To your point, I want to prevent outside air from coming in the vehicle through the vents.

The sun roof provides cool air while I drive, if the vents are open, hot air fills the car. As far as strain on the system... the Air/AC is not on. I simply want the vents closed (recirc) while I drive with the sun roof open.

On the older cars you simply slid the lever to close the vents to prevent outside air from coming in :)

No Glen. Per the World Wide Web... A sunroof is a panel on the roof of a car that either slides back or can be taken out to allow light, air or both to come into a vehicle, according to USNews.com.
