Just came to my car after work with all the windows down. No idea when they went down. Time to turn off the remote window control.

Yeah, I turned that feature off after getting in the car. I think the windows went down shortly after I locked it 12 hours prior because the car smelled like outside and not new car smell.Holding the unlock button on the fob will roll all the windows down. Could have accidentally pressed and held it.
Didnt even know you can turn it off. Dont remember seeing it in the settings.Yeah, I turned that feature off after getting in the car. I think the windows went down shortly after I locked it 12 hours prior because the car smelled like outside and not new car smell.

Cat piss and rodent droppings in the vents?This morning confirmed the new car smell is gone.![]()
The smell is the product of off-gassing and not necessarily good for you. But...it has an intoxicating effect that you always remember. Not much different than any other drug that makes you feel good, but could be harmful over time.I never understood the new car smell. To me it's the essence of formaldehyde, burning plastics and petroleum.
You did your lungs a favor, but don't be bummed as it will come back in the summer when you park it out in the heat.
Oh yeah that sweet smell of VOCs. Like I say to the OP, it will be there waiting for you in the summerThe smell is the product of off-gassing and not necessarily good for you.

It smells like...freedom!I never understood the new car smell. To me it's the essence of formaldehyde, burning plastics and petroleum.
I still have some Zaino "leather in a bottle" and that's just what it smells like.I'm convinced it's that leather that makes it smell great. They need to make a conditioner that smells like that.
We bought 2 new cars this year and I have to say the Caddy smells amazing by comparison to our Mazda chemical factory smell.
I daily drove the Mazda from February to July and I literally went through a Costco sized bottle of Excedrin... It's all cheap Rubbermaid plastic. I can't complain too much about a $38k 3 row suv.
