How to Turn on the Car Ventilation?

To ventilate the car, locate the air recirculation switch and use the external circulation mode. The specific steps are: 1. Find the air recirculation switch, rotate it to the external circulation position, and adjust the temperature control knob to the middle position between hot and cold; 2. Push up the air vent button to open it, then adjust the direction of the air flow; 3. Rotate the fan speed control button to set the desired airflow intensity. The purpose of external circulation is to connect the air inside and outside the car, thereby replenishing fresh air. While the vehicle is moving, airflow automatically enters the car due to wind pressure. When the car is stationary, outside air flows through the air duct into the blower, which then blows it into the car. The air inside the car is then expelled through the exhaust vents at the rear of the cabin, achieving a circulation effect.
Ventilating your car is actually quite simple. I remember when I first started driving, I always felt the car was stuffy. Later, a friend taught me that car ventilation is usually handled by the air conditioning system. After getting in the car and starting the engine, look for the air conditioning control area near the dashboard. There, you'll find a fan icon or knob—turning it will activate the fan to blow air. If there's an AUTO button, pressing it will automatically turn on the ventilation mode, adjusting airflow based on the interior temperature. Automatic air conditioning is quite smart—it intelligently switches between recirculation and fresh air modes. The fresh air mode brings in outside air, while recirculation maintains a stable interior temperature. Pay attention to the scenario when operating it: use fresh air mode on highways in summer for faster cooling, but switch to recirculation in city traffic to avoid exhaust fumes. I also learned that regularly replacing the cabin air filter is important to prevent dirty air. If fogging occurs, switch to defog mode—safety first.
