The recirculating mode is separate than max AC at least it is if you have the manual AC in the LS.

Max ac = temp knob all the way to the left, the light in the middle of that knob will turn on and the engine fan will cycle quicly and stay on a long time.

Not Max ac = 1 click to the right on the temp knob, I think the recirculate light goes out, the fan settles down but still cycles occasionally

Recirculate mode without max AC = stay at 1 click to right off max AC then poke the middle of the temp knob and the recicurlate light will come on. The engine fan cycles similar to Not Max ac.

In the models with the automatic temp knob I dont know how it works vs the engine fan speed.

It seems Max ac cycles the engine fan to cool the AC condensor more when the vehicle isnt in motion or moving slowly.

if its the same as my warroir trim push the centre of the dial in and hold for ten seconds repeat to turn on and off.

All 3 circular dial have a push in button to adjust things

Hope this helps?

ok after a few observations on my ac, it seems that everytime the fan kicks on, it is loud as hell. Does all your outties A/C fan sound that loud when max ac?

Its not the AC its the engine cooling fan. It runs to cool the condensor faster when the car is idle or in slow traffic. It is a good thing, many of my older cars would blow warm air in heavy traffic until the engine got hot enough to turn on the fan.

As far as the fan being loud, it is quite loud, for what its worth I was next to a Jag that was just as loud the ac ran the same way.

Don't worry about it it.
