I am very confused. None of this adds up.
You can make it add up by taking the car apart to see that the air has no other path. (Seen first hand) On recic it does not go, but without the higher fan value you don't get the correct pressures. Thus not Bio Defense mode. Still filtering, but not to the levels that would do what we have seen in videos.
I will look for a pic, but not taking my car apart today.
