Does the car's recirculation light indicate internal or external air circulation?
1 Answers
When the vehicle's internal/external air circulation light is on, it indicates internal circulation; when the light is off, it indicates external circulation. External circulation opens the airflow channel between the inside and outside of the vehicle. When the fan is turned on, air from outside the vehicle is drawn inside, allowing air to circulate between the interior and exterior. Internal circulation, on the other hand, closes the airflow channel between the inside and outside of the vehicle. When the fan is turned on, only the air inside the vehicle is drawn in, creating an internal airflow cycle. Additional information: Situations suitable for using internal and external circulation: 1. Internal circulation: During high summer temperatures when the car's air conditioning is on, using internal circulation can help maintain a stable interior temperature and save fuel. Additionally, during traffic congestion, turning on internal circulation can prevent excessive exhaust fumes from entering the vehicle. In poor environmental conditions, such as smoggy days, it is also recommended to use internal circulation. 2. External circulation: On rainy or snowy days when the air inside the vehicle becomes stale, turning on external circulation allows for air convection. Furthermore, on highways, external circulation can be used to replenish fresh air, as a sealed cabin environment during long drives can lead to driver fatigue due to oxygen deprivation, potentially causing accidents due to lack of concentration.
