Which button turns on the external air circulation in the Audi Q3?
3 Answers
There is a control panel below the center console with a button marked with the letter "A" and a car-shaped icon with a curved arrow inside. Here is some information about the Audi Q3: Space: The overall space of the imported Audi Q3 is sufficient, with no tightness in legroom and headroom. The leather seats provide good wrapping and comfort. There are plenty of storage compartments inside the car, but the trunk volume is relatively small, offering average storage capacity. Interior: The interior inherits Audi's consistent style, with a reasonable layout. It is well-equipped with a strong sense of technology. The digital dashboard is clear and easy to read. The materials used are of good quality, and the craftsmanship is fine. The interior color schemes are diverse, offering a wide range of choices.
When I first got my Audi Q3, I studied its air conditioning system. The external air circulation is controlled by the button with a car icon, located on the AC control panel. Pressing it once turns on the internal circulation (light on), and pressing it again switches back to external circulation (light off). I remember driving in the rain last time when the windshield fogged up, I specifically turned on the external circulation, and the fresh air quickly cleared the fog. This design is quite reasonable—it provides fast ventilation with AC in summer and prevents stuffiness with heating in winter. Mid-range and higher trims even display an airflow diagram on the screen, which is very intuitive. However, if you forget to switch, the car might suck in exhaust fumes during traffic jams, so it's something to remind myself about.
I've been driving my Q3 for two years, and the most frequently used button in the air conditioning system is the small car icon. This button is located next to the dual-zone temperature control knob, and pressing it to turn off the light activates the external air circulation mode. In the city, I usually keep the internal circulation on to avoid exhaust fumes, but on the highway, the external circulation provides excellent ventilation, keeping the air in the cabin fresh and flowing. Sometimes the air conditioning system automatically switches modes, such as when you activate the defrost function, it forces external circulation to dry the windshield. I remember the technician mentioned during the last maintenance that keeping the external circulation on also has the benefit of extending the life of the cabin air filter, as it allows for greater and more even air circulation.
