Most cars have an air recirculation button near the air conditioning controls, but many people don’t know when to use it correctly.

In the summer:

Use the recirculation button to cool your car faster. It keeps the cool air inside the cabin, which makes the air conditioning work easier and helps save fuel or energy.

In the winter:

Turn off recirculation to allow fresh air into the car, which helps prevent the windows from fogging up.

Extra tip:

If your car has been in the sun for a long time, roll down the windows and turn off recirculation for the first few minutes to release the accumulated hot air.

Bonus:

In heavy traffic situations, both in summer and winter, using recirculation can help reduce the entry of external pollutants into the cabin by up to 20%.

This practice not only improves the efficiency of the air conditioning, but also creates a more comfortable and healthy environment inside the vehicle.
