Question AC Recirculation + Tire Warning

AC:
I've had my 2015 Countryman S since June now. I noticed that the ac recirculation constantly drops off on its own to fresh air. I'll notice it when I suddenly get a waft of exhaust fumes from the cars ahead on the highway. I also have to tell it to recirculate every time I get in the car. I'm used to my previous car remembering the settings I left it on. Is it trying to keep me from suffocating on my own CO2? :P No big deal on that, unless that's not normal.


Tires:
I first went to take care of the tire pressure warning, 4 months after receiving. Guy said the pressure was HIGH! So, he let the air out (or nitrogen). As soon as I left the lot, the warning came back. Put air again to match the recommended PSI. Left the lot, AGAIN warning on. How sensitive is it, and will it not go away if it's Air and not just the Nitrogen?


Thanks

Do you have auto air ? It will do this on its own.

You will have o preform the tire TPMS reset when the light comes on. Set the tire pressure to what it states in the door jam, then reset the TPMS from the inside of the car,

No I don't have the auto air on. And I have performed the TPMS reset each time I've tried to adjust the pressure. I shall schedule maintenance to take a look.

Might have a bad TPMS sensor or receiver your under warranty, I would take it to the dealer.

On the air I would see if the HVAC system has a fault, also under warranty.

It's normal for the a/c to to periodically switch to outside air. If you press the Max button it'll stay in recirculate and cool off the cabin much better. It'll initially go to a high fan setting but you can select a lower speed.
