Cabin recirculation mode effective?

Wondered what the experience of the re-circ mode for cabin air is. I've run through smoke a couple of times recently and used it. It seems pretty ineffective compared to other cars I've had. I can smell the smoke quite strongly. In other cars, and in my little Fiat 500, it seems to filter out most of the fumes. Is this something I can improve? Have I got a leak in my door seals ? Pollen filter issue?
It's going in for a few warranty items in May as coming up to 3 yrs old so wondered if I should mention it? Any input/advice much appreciated.
Cheers
 Gary

mine is exactly the same. I drive past a landfill fairly regularly and I'd get less smell in the cabin by opening all the windows Laughing

I did wonder if it was a filter change issue

On a D3 I’d say the opposite, if I turn on the recycle button before I reach the smell or if I see smoke ahead then the smell doesn’t get into the car.

Works fine on our MY11 - the wife has COPD so use it a lot when in traffic - remember it is recycle so if the smell is already in the car it isn't going to clear it.

works perfectly in my D3!!!
...I usually cross near the area of influence of a paper mill, it has been emitting a strong smell of.... "cabbage" Embarassed .... for years and without any visible smoke, so I do not know very well when to turn on the system of recirculation mode , therefore I do it officially a kilometer before and never the horible smell comes, which it does in other cars that I also drive in which I am forced to open the windows after crossing so that the smell comes out of the car's interior, something that never happens on the Disco. Thumbs Up

obviously Laughing

On my 2013 it's totally useless... to the point where I'm starting to wonder if it's even working
