Turning on recirculation helps reduce the amount of exhaust fumes and polluted outside air entering the cabin. It can also help your air conditioner cool the interior faster because the system is reusing air that has already been cooled instead of constantly pulling in hot air from outside.<\/p>\n<p>There are also situations when recirculation should be turned off.
