What is the correct way to use the Audi's internal and external air circulation?
2 Answers
Audi's correct usage of internal and external air circulation is to use internal circulation in traffic jams and external circulation on highways. Here are the detailed instructions for using Audi's internal and external air circulation: 1. How to use internal circulation: Audi's internal circulation is used to prevent polluted air from entering the car. You can turn on the internal circulation when stuck in traffic or parked, because in the external circulation mode, wind-blown dust can easily enter the car, increasing the dust inside. 2. How to use external circulation: Audi's external circulation is used to replenish fresh air inside the car. Using external circulation allows you to breathe fresh air from outside. When driving at high speeds for long periods, the air inside the car can become stuffy, so you can use external circulation to let fresh air in.
When driving my Audi, I've found that the key to correctly using the recirculation and fresh air modes lies in switching them according to the situation. The recirculation mode makes the air conditioning circulate the air inside the car without drawing in external air, which is suitable for traffic jams or entering tunnels as it prevents inhaling exhaust fumes or unpleasant odors. To activate it, simply press the recirculation button (the icon resembling a person inside a car) on the center console after starting the car. The fresh air mode, on the other hand, introduces outside air and is ideal for highway driving or open roads, ensuring air circulation inside the car to prevent stuffiness and dizziness. Its icon is an arrow entering the car. On rainy or foggy days, switching to fresh air mode can defog the windows faster because the dry incoming air removes moisture quickly. However, avoid using only one mode for extended periods. For example, during pollen season, I use recirculation to prevent allergies, but I switch to fresh air for a few minutes during breaks to ventilate. Audi's automatic climate control makes this even smarter—pressing the AUTO button adjusts it automatically, but manual adjustments are also flexible, ensuring a comfortable and safe driving experience.
