Smoke outside is going in my car

Hi,

Sorry if this may seem as a stupid question, I'm kind of a newbie with car maintenance. The smoke from the buses outside is going inside my car, hence I get suffocated. What part do I need to repair/replace to prevent this from happening? This is for a 2005 honda civic by the way.

Have someone check the air vents and hoses coming from the engine to the cabin. Baka sira na mga rubber plugs/gaskets.

Sir baka naka-on lang yung "outside air" sa air selection switch.

I think ito yung dash ng 2005 Civic:

or baka sira na iyong a/c filter mo kaya pumapasok na exhaust fumes ng mga kasabayan mo sa daan. easy to remedy if that's the case. just bring it to a reputable a/c shop

Most likely causes:

1. Recirculation mode is turned off
2. Recirculation flap is stuck open
3. Recirculation flap seal is worn-out, broken or missing

agree ako sa kanila sir... baka naka-open yung air vent mo kaya pasok lahat ng usok... switch on mo yung recirculation then obserbahan mo.. pag ganon pa din dalhin mo sa suking shop...
