    Good pm mga bossing,

    Ano po BA ang purpose Ng recirculate button? Medyo nalilito Kasi ako kung kailan Ko gagamitin Ito. Sabi Sa akin i-on Ko daw kapag pumapasok ang Amoy Ng usok Sa labas, tama po BA iyon? May nagsabi naman na kapag may umutot Sa loob Ng kotse eh i-on daw Ito, contradicting siya di BA?

    At sabi Sa manual Ng kotse ay 10 minutes Lang daw i-on Ito at hirap ang AC at sasama ang FC.

    Thank you po Sa mga sasagot!

    Palagi naka ON recirculate sa mga kotse ko. It means you recirculate the air inside your cab. Pag naka-OFF, the AC will draw in 'fresh' air from outside of the car. So pati mga usok ng mga bus and jeeps hihigupin ng AC.

    when the recirculate button is activated, vents from outside the front windshield open. air from the outside will enter the passenger cabin, and replace the old air with new air.

    if the outside air is polluted, then the cabin air will also get polluted.
    if the inside cabin air is foul-smelling, the outside air will replace this foul-smelling air.

    if the outside air is hot, the aircon will have to work overtime, to cool the incoming hot air.

    the manual said that??!!! are you sure?

    heh heh.

    The only times I don't use recirculate are:
    1. When someone farts
    2. When we are in an open area free from pollution
    3. When a balikbayan insists to turn it off to get "fresh air" despite me saying "Oh, it's not fresh."

    I noticed the a/c gets a little warmer with recirculate off.

    because what the fan pushes is a mixture of warmer outside air and recirculated old, cooler air.

    Thank you sir for the clarification. I guess I misinterpreted what I've read in the manual.

    Isipin mo na lang bintana sya. Pag ON ang recirculate, sarado ang bintana. Pag OFF, binuksan mo ang bintana at makakapasok ang hangin galing sa labas. Makakalabas din ang hangin sa loob.

    When its warmer outside the car cabin it will feel warmer inside the cars cabin when you stop recirculating air.

    When its cooler outside the car cabin than inside mist will develop and thats when recirculating is a bad option

    The logic of stopping recirculating is to introduce fresh air into the cabin is good for the passengers health. But then again with prevalent diesel fumes in roads plyed by public transpo, then non-recirculation is an unhealthy option

    So stop recirculating air from time to time to introduce fresh air and to control the mist developed in the windshield when the air outside the cars cabin is cooler than inside

    My cars recirculation switch is always off in the garage

    I'd like to keep it open a lot more but with most ASBU's double standards it's near impossible not to get a cloud of black smoke when in urban areas. In places like Subic, Antipolo, Cavite I'm able to leave it open. ☺

    ^Thats true, diesel fume is toxic, but one should be aware that remnants of toxic gas seeps inside the cabin, hence constant recirculation of air is dangerous to the passengers.

    Opening the aircon vent whenever its safe to do so is good for the passengers well being. Introducing fresh air once in a while will reduce the carbon monoxide we breathe in while the aircon vent is in recirculation mode especially in a long drive

    Keeping the aircon vent permanently shut is a dangerous thing to do, more so when the windshield develops mist. With a flick of a switch by allowing cool air from the outside will wipe out the mist in the windshield while keeping your hands on the steering wheel

    Constant recirculation deprives one with abundant supply of oxygen required by our lungs, what we breathe more are the cabon monoxide (byproduct of combustion system) and carbon dioxide (byproduct of respiratory system) which is generally deemed unhealthy

    Hey late to the thread!

    pero i think some people get them mixed up! Kahit ako nga eh, pero my nose is my sensor. Basta mapansin ko na mabaho sa labas and Im in a closed car, I off ko agad ang recirculate. Plus warmer ang AC.
