It’s a small symbol you see on almost every dashboard, but its true function is often overlooked. This button with a looping arrow controls cabin air recirculation. And no, it’s not just for show! Used correctly, it can truly improve driving comfort—even contribute to your well-being. But you still need to know when to activate it… and when to leave it alone.
A handy button for extra freshness… in summer
In the summer, when your car becomes a real furnace, turning on the air recirculation function can work wonders. By recirculating (slightly) cooled air inside, the air conditioning works faster and more efficiently. The result? You cool down and reduce energy consumption.
Tip: Before turning on the air conditioning, open the windows for a minute to let the hot air out. Then close all the windows, turn on the recirculation function, and let the system do its job.
In winter, it is best to ensure free air circulation.
