If it's on the left the air gets recirculated. Just a very minor amount of fresh air is going through from the outside.
On the right position it is doing it automatically when it detects that the air outside is too much polluted.

Then you only get the air from the outside, polluted or not.
You can manually switch to recirculation, or let the car measure the air quality and let the system decide for you. If you never want recirculation, leave it out.

I allways use Auto and never experienced any problem.
I only use the manual mode when I approach (for example) a construction side and I see dust clouds in the sky. Then I use the manual mode. But right after going throught he dust I switch back to Auto.
Auto works perfect.

I normally have it off. I only turn it on to avoid bad smells from the outside to gets in the car.
