Is it better to use the car air conditioner in recirculation mode or fresh air mode?
1 Answers
Car air conditioning should be used flexibly according to actual conditions: 1. Consider road conditions: Use fresh air mode on highways. Due to wind resistance and high speed, it's not suitable to open windows on highways. Prolonged use of recirculation mode may cause hypoxia in the brain, affecting reaction and judgment, which is very dangerous. Additionally, air quality on highways is generally good with low exhaust concentration, making fresh air mode preferable. In crowded urban areas or during rush hours when vehicle exhaust concentration is high, switch to recirculation mode decisively. 2. Consider vehicle condition: New cars contain high concentrations of toxic gases like formaldehyde. For the first 3-6 months after purchasing a new car, it's recommended to use fresh air mode along with opening windows to enhance air circulation and dilute toxic gas concentrations. 3. Consider air quality: In areas with severe PM2.5 pollution (above 50) where air quality isn't good, use recirculation mode to avoid excessive inhalation of PM2.5 particles into the lungs.
