How to Switch to Recirculation Mode?
2 Answers
You can switch between modes by operating the buttons according to your vehicle model. Some models use a single button to switch, while others use two buttons. Below is a detailed introduction to the functions of the recirculation and fresh air modes: 1. The fresh air mode serves to replenish fresh air. 2. The recirculation mode blocks out polluted air. Here are some precautions for using these modes: 1. Shortly after entering the car, you should open the windows or activate the fresh air ventilation system to introduce fresh air. Avoid driving for long periods with the windows and doors closed, and never sleep or rest for extended periods in a sealed car. 2. After purchasing a new car, make efforts to exchange air between the inside and outside of the car, similar to airing out a newly renovated house, to allow harmful gases inside the car to evaporate and dissipate as soon as possible. 3. When using the air conditioning or heating, opt for the air exchange mode between the inside and outside of the car, and try to avoid using the recirculation mode for extended periods. 4. Be mindful of choosing routes with relatively good air quality, just as you would choose low-pollution green products. Whenever possible, drive on open roads with good air circulation. 5. In areas or times with heavy traffic, or when following vehicles that may have excessive exhaust emissions, temporarily switch the air conditioning or heating to recirculation mode. If driving with windows open, temporarily close them. Car owners should develop the habit of adjusting the car's air circulation system promptly based on the outside air conditions. 6. For the first six months of a new car, ensure enhanced ventilation, regularly clean the car's air conditioning system, and strive to maintain fresh air inside the car. Pay special attention not to use perfumes or air fresheners to mask unusual odors inside the car.
I've driven several car models before, and switching to recirculation mode is actually quite simple. Look for the air conditioning control panel near the steering wheel, where there's usually a button with a car icon and a circular arrow. Press it, and when the light turns on, it means the recirculation mode is activated. If you're driving a newer model, you can also operate it through the central touchscreen—just enter the air conditioning settings menu and look for the recirculation mode option. I usually use recirculation mode during highway traffic jams or on smoggy days to prevent outside exhaust fumes from entering the cabin. However, be careful not to keep it on for too long, as the air inside can become stale. After about an hour, switch to fresh air mode to ventilate. Another tip: never use recirculation mode when the windshield fogs up in winter, as it will make the fog worse.
