USEFUL TIP

Ever had some complaints from some occupants in your car that the AC is not reaching them at the back? It's usually the person driving and the front seat passenger that enjoys it most.

All vehicles have a recirculation button with the AC controls in their cars. But many of us are unsure when to use it.

Well, the easy answer is to use it when the weather is hot or summer and turn it off during harmattan or winter.

The recirculation button simply takes the air from inside the car and recirculates it in the cabin instead of pulling fresh air from outside. On days like today when it is miserably hot outside if you do not recirculate the cooler air in the cabin, then your AC system is pulling hot air from outside and trying to cool it. Using the recirculation feature will get your car cooler and will decrease the wear and tear on your AC system.
- Side note, if your car has been baking in the sun, it's better to roll the windows down and turn to recirculate off for the first minute or so to get rid of the super hot air inside the car before turning the recirculate on.

Also, any time you are stuck in traffic ( summer or winter) be sure to use the recirculate. If you are pulling air from outside, then you are pulling in all the pollutants and carbon monoxide from all the traffic. Studies show that recirculating your AC can cut down on the pollutants entering your vehicle by 20% when stuck in traffic!

I know about this feature. And I'll advice you not to use it frequently when you eventually locate it on your car, cos using it for long distances if your car is filled up can result in a decrease in air quality cos the air keeps circulating, none is going outside. I'd still prefer the normal mode where fresh air from outside can enter the cabin.

For me I'd say it's best if maybe you're driving through a smoky environment, or maybe shit people are parking shit and you driving through them and don't want to inhale their shit, you can switch to the recirculation mode so that air from outside doesn't come in, then switch back once you move past them.

Thought I should share this, although I don't even know if my vehicle has this button. I'll have to check when it is back from my Kazeem. It is currently being repaired after my folks traveled with it to Delta state and when they returned, the vehicle was singing fyuuuuuuyuh when you start the engine. 😑

Seun needs to make birth certificates and IQ test certificates required before users can sign up.

We have too many children and dimwitted folks on this forum already.

Now, to Ringroadgoat,
Where did I Ishiove say that the pic attached is from her car? You think everybody is a teenager who can't afford a car? Don't you know there are many adults on this forum? People who have registered before you hit puberty? Do you think everybody is still writing JAMB exam and flunking? Don't you know there are parents and grandparents on this forum?

Next time, please think well, deep and broad before you open your mouth and make a comment. Also, Kindly make sure the wire connecting your brain and your mouth isn't disconnected.

Kind regards,
Cheers.

But what's actually the idea behind labelling all mechanics "Kazeem"?

Seen that nonsense a couple of times on this nairaland and I never got around to understanding it.
