How to Switch Between Internal and External Air Circulation in the X-Trail?
2 Answers
The method for using the internal and external air circulation in the X-Trail is as follows: The X-Trail's air conditioning defaults to external circulation. There is a button on the center console with a car icon and a counterclockwise arrow inside the car, which is the internal circulation switch. Press to light it up and activate internal circulation; press again to turn it off and deactivate internal circulation. Additional Information: 1. Shortly after entering the car, you should open the windows or turn on the external circulation to introduce fresh air. When using the air conditioning or heater, alternate between internal and external circulation modes, and try to avoid prolonged use of the internal circulation mode. 2. The X-Trail's interior is simple and elegant, with good craftsmanship and materials, though the configuration is average but practical. The center console design is straightforward, with well-laid-out buttons that offer good tactile feedback. The sound system performance is average. The overall space is not large, especially the rear seating area and trunk, which are small.
Switching between internal and external air circulation in the Qashqai is actually very simple and practical. After starting the vehicle, locate the air conditioning control area, usually on the center console or the right side of the steering wheel, where there's a small button marked with the internal/external circulation icon, resembling a car outline or a turning arrow. As a long-time Qashqai user, I'm accustomed to stepping on the brake to start the engine, then glancing at the air conditioning panel to find that button and pressing it gently. You'll hear a switching sound, and the panel indicator light turns on for internal circulation and off for external circulation. Internal circulation allows the air conditioner to use the existing air for faster cooling or heating, ideal for high-speed driving or avoiding exhaust fumes in traffic jams; external circulation brings in fresh air for ventilation and prevents fogging, suitable for long trips to avoid stuffiness. With three years of experience using the Qashqai, my advice is to use internal circulation more often in the city to save energy and switch to external circulation when heading out of town for comfort. The switch doesn't affect driving and can be done anytime. Higher-end models with a touchscreen can also select the option from the menu, but the physical button is more reliable. Just remember not to keep it on internal circulation for too long to avoid oxygen deprivation inside the car. Adjust it timely to ensure safe and worry-free driving.
