Where is the air intake for the Civic's air conditioning located?

[DeAva]

The external circulation air intake for the Civic's air conditioning is located beneath the windshield, behind the engine hood, while the internal circulation air intake is positioned on the car's center console. Suitable situations for using external circulation: When driving a new car or traveling on the highway for an extended period, it is advisable to activate the external circulation as much as possible to maintain air flow between the inside and outside of the vehicle. This helps in quickly releasing harmful gases from the car's interior. Additionally, prolonged use of internal circulation can lead to a lack of oxygen inside the car, potentially causing driver fatigue and increasing the risk of traffic accidents. In such cases, switching to external circulation is necessary to replenish the car's interior with fresh air. Suitable situations for using internal circulation: During traffic jams or in dusty and sandy weather conditions, internal circulation effectively prevents exhaust fumes from entering the car, thereby avoiding harm to passengers. It also helps in keeping out external dust and reduces the impact of sand and wind on the air conditioning filter.
