Where is the Audi A6's external circulation button located?

The Audi A6's external circulation button is located below the center console. Introduction to Internal Circulation: Internal circulation refers to drawing air from inside the vehicle to create an airflow cycle within the car. When internal circulation is activated, it blocks outside air from entering the vehicle and prevents the inside air from escaping. It is useful during hazy or dusty weather conditions, as well as in summer to maintain a cool interior or in winter to keep the cabin warm, allowing for rapid cooling or heating of the passenger compartment. Introduction to External Circulation: External circulation expels the air from inside the vehicle and draws in fresh air from outside. If the cabin feels stuffy and requires ventilation, external circulation can be activated to refresh the air inside. Additionally, during rainy weather when the windshield fogs up, turning on external circulation and directing airflow toward the front windshield will gradually clear the fog.
As a seasoned Audi A6 driver, let me share the location of the exterior air circulation button. It's typically found on the climate control panel, centrally positioned on the dashboard near the temperature adjustment knob and fan speed buttons. On most models, the icon features a small arrow pointing from outside the car inward, or is labeled 'Recirc Off'—a single press switches to fresh air mode. I find this particularly useful in traffic jams to reduce interior fogging and odors. If unsure, consult the user manual's diagram or check the display settings menu—some newer Audis have touchscreen controls where you can find the circulation option under climate settings. My driving habit is to use exterior circulation in rural areas and occasionally switch in urban environments to maintain airflow and save fuel. Remember, regular cabin air filter cleaning ensures proper button functionality and prevents dust buildup from affecting performance.
