How to Turn on the Air Recirculation Mode in Baojun 310?
2 Answers
Insert the key and turn it to the ON position, then check the status of warning lights and indicators on the dashboard. If there are no special prompts and the lights illuminate normally, it indicates a successful startup. Locate the fan control knob, also known as the air recirculation button. Turn on the air conditioning, and the operation of the fan indicates a successful activation. After turning on the air conditioning, find the temperature control knob labeled with AC in blue and red colors. Rotate it to set the temperature: the blue zone for cooling and the red zone for heating. Press the A/C switch on the temperature control knob to activate the air recirculation mode.
I've driven quite a few cars, and the Baojun 310's recirculation switch design is quite intuitive. After starting the car, locate the air conditioning control panel, usually on the center console near the driver's side, and press the small button with the car and arrow icon—it's instantly recognizable. When recirculation is on, the AC only circulates the air inside the car, keeping out external exhaust fumes, which is especially useful in traffic jams or on smoggy days to avoid inhaling exhaust and dust. I use this feature often while driving, particularly during peak hours in the city, as it also improves cooling efficiency and saves some fuel. But remember not to keep it on for too long, as it can reduce oxygen levels inside the car, making it stuffy and affecting driving focus. It's best to use it temporarily in poor environments and switch to fresh air or auto mode otherwise. Also, be mindful of fogging on the windows, especially in new cars or during rainy seasons—using the rearview mirror defogger can help. Regular maintenance and checking the cabin air filter will keep the air fresh.
