Probably a safety reason for the recirc to disable on a car restart. It's not good to drive around with recirc on for long periods.

Don't windows fog up faster if you have recirc and no A/C on?

No they don't because the air from outside is usually colder in winter then it is inside then it starts to fog up immediately. I do it every morning... as I drive out my driveway and hit the highway (3mins) I have to flip the recirc switch on and within mins the windows clear up again, without putting on an A/C or fan etc.

Ok well if it's a safety thing then I guess it will be on all cars. Suppose I'll just get used to it.

I'm used to older cars where you press the button and it stays on until switched off haha.

Pologti18t & Gavs right.

The windows fog up due to the difference in temp between cabin and outside. As soon as you step in and start breathing warm air out the temp tries to equalize and your warm breath and body heat rushes to the windows which are the same temp as the outside temp. This rapid change causes the moisture. Buy putting the a/c on you reduce the temp allowing the the temp the equalize slower and. A more even rate stoping that sudden change and moisture forming. The a/c also draws moisture out of the air which helps stops the "fog" (moisture).
