Fresh Air Mode (Button OFF – Default)
Draws air from outside through vents near the base of your windshield
Passes it through the cabin air filter
Then heats or cools it before blowing into the cabin
Best for: General driving, air quality, and preventing stuffiness
Recirculation Mode (Button ON)
Closes the outside air intake
Recycles the same air inside your car through the system
Best for: Rapid cooling, blocking outside pollutants, or reducing allergens
Vehicle electronics
