When you activate this mode, the air already present in the passenger compartment is recycled instead of being replaced by outside air. This mechanism allows:
- Rapid cooling: Since the indoor air is already pre-cooled, the air conditioning system works less to maintain the desired temperature.
- A barrier against pollutants : Exhaust gases, allergens or unpleasant odors remain outside.
- Energy saving : The motor uses less energy to cool or heat the recirculated air, also extending the life of the air conditioning system.
