Which button is for the external air circulation in the Magotan?

There are two buttons on the A/C switch, the left one is for defrosting the windshield, and the right one is for switching between internal and external air circulation. Here are some precautions regarding the external air circulation in the Magotan: 1. Shortly after entering the car: You should open the windows or turn on the external air circulation ventilation system to introduce fresh air. Do not drive for long periods with the windows and doors closed, and never sleep or rest for extended periods in a sealed car. 2. New cars: After purchasing a new car, treat it like a newly renovated house by maximizing air exchange between the inside and outside to allow harmful gases inside the car to evaporate and dissipate as quickly as possible. For the first six months of a new car, ensure strong ventilation, regularly clean the interior air conditioning, and try to maintain fresh air inside the car. 3. When using the air conditioning or heater: Use the mode that exchanges air between the inside and outside of the car, and avoid using the internal recirculation mode for extended periods. 4. Traffic jams: In areas with severe traffic congestion, temporarily switch the air conditioning and heater to the internal recirculation mode. Vehicles driving with windows open should temporarily close their windows. Car owners should develop the habit of adjusting the car's air circulation system promptly based on the external air conditions.
I've driven a Magotan for ten years and am very familiar with the layout of the air conditioning buttons. The same button toggles between internal and external air circulation, located in the center of the AC control panel with an icon of a car featuring a circular arrow. The illuminated button indicates internal circulation is on, while the light off means external circulation. It's advisable to keep external circulation on when air quality is good to allow fresh air flow inside the car, especially on long trips to avoid stuffiness. Opening external circulation slightly on rainy days can also prevent window fogging. I usually prefer external circulation on highways—it's quieter and more fuel-efficient than opening windows. Just press this button to operate; it has a crisp tactile feel and is conveniently located next to the temperature knob, easily found with peripheral vision while driving.
As a mom who often shuttles kids around, I pay special attention to in-car air circulation. The Passat's external circulation switch is that car icon button on the center console, with an arrow circulating inside the car. A gentle press turns off the light, indicating external circulation is activated. I always turn on external circulation when driving kids to school, letting in fresh morning air which makes them less car-sick than internal circulation. This thoughtful design features a perfectly sized button for female operation, positioned slightly right of center on the climate panel for easy reach. One reminder: it's best to turn it off in dusty areas - I learned this the hard way last spring when poplar fluff clogged the filter during external circulation use.
