I have finished reading through my Leaf owner's manual and I don't understand an entry on page 4-32 : 'Automatic air intake control'. It seems that by pressing and holding the air recirculation button you are putting it into automatic mode. I am guessing that automatic mode does two things;

1. Switches automatically between outside and inside air recirculation?
2. Saves energy?

If I am correct, doesn't the AUTO climate control on/off button achieve a similar result?

Is there an electronic 'nose' somewhere in the internals that sniffs out any diesel within 50 feet and automatically switches on the recirc?

My wife can do better than that. She has a very keen sense of smell and if she is driving behind a vehicle which looks like it is 10 years old or more, she hits the recirculation button!
