How to turn on the external circulation of the Volkswagen Lamando?
3 Answers
On the car's central console, there is a button for external circulation. After pressing the external circulation button, the external circulation will be activated. The methods and scenarios for turning on external circulation are as follows: 1. If the car frequently drives in areas with good environmental conditions or often travels on highways, external circulation can be used for extended periods while the air conditioning is on. 2. Turning the air conditioning adjustment knob clockwise once activates external circulation, while turning it counterclockwise to the bottom activates internal circulation. 3. If the internal circulation is manually adjusted, it is necessary to switch to external circulation after passing through areas with poor air quality. Even if the outside air remains poor, it is advisable to periodically switch the circulation mode.
Turning on the exterior air circulation in the Volkswagen Lamando is actually quite simple! I use this feature frequently, especially when I need ventilation on the highway. In the air conditioning control area on the center console, locate the button with the icon of a car and an arrow. When the button's indicator light is on, it means the interior circulation mode is active. Simply press the button again to turn off the light, and it will switch to exterior circulation. Remember, this operation only takes effect after the engine is started. When using exterior circulation, it's recommended to keep the windows closed so that fresh outside air can enter through the intake grille—perfect for outings or airing out the car after rain. In heavy traffic, it's best to switch back to interior circulation to prevent exhaust fumes from entering the cabin. Don’t ask how I know that!
I've been using the Lamando for three years, and the external circulation operation is quite handy. Look down at the center console panel and find the button with the car icon. If the light is currently on, it indicates the internal circulation mode—just press it to turn it off. If the light is already off, it means it's in external circulation mode. If you're unsure, press the button twice to ensure the indicator light is off. The best time to use external circulation is on coastal roads, where the natural breeze feels especially refreshing. However, avoid using it during sandstorms, as dust can accumulate inside the car. Also, don't leave the external circulation on for too long when parked and waiting, as insects can crawl into the air intake.
