Helpful Tip: Using the Car Air Recirculation Button

By Lesia

Here’s a simple guide:

  1. Summer use:
    -Use the recirculation button in summer. It takes air from inside the car and recirculates it into the cabin, cooling it faster and reducing the load on your air conditioning system.
  2. Winter use:
    -Turn off the recirculation button in winter. This allows fresh air to enter from outside, preventing fogging of the windows.
  3. Initial cooling:
    -If your car has been baking in the sun, roll down the windows and turn off the recirculation for the first minute to expel the hot air inside. Then, activate recirculation to cool the car more efficiently.
  4. Stuck in traffic:
    -Use the recirculation function in traffic (in summer or winter) to reduce the amount of pollutants and carbon monoxide entering your vehicle. Studies show that recirculating your air conditioning can reduce pollutants entering your vehicle by 20% when you’re stuck in traffic.
    -By following these tips, you can optimize your car’s air conditioning system, stay cooler in summer, reduce pollutants, and extend the life of your air conditioner.
