This button allows you to block the air flow from outside and is used to prevent dust, exhaust gases or unpleasant odors from entering the passenger compartment, as well as when it is necessary to quickly cool or heat the passenger compartment. When you press this button, the corresponding indicator lights up and air recirculation begins in the passenger compartment.
Pressing the air recirculation button again will resume the intake of air from the outside; the recirculation indicator will go out.
Using the air recirculation mode for a long time may cause the vehicle windows to fog up. In this case, press the air recirculation switch again to resume the intake of air from outside.
Caution: Driving with the air recirculation mode on for a long time may cause drowsiness.
It is necessary to periodically turn off this mode to allow fresh air to enter from the street.
