A FORGOTTEN dashboard button can help you cool down your car quickly, and you don’t need to switch on your air con.
This hidden dashboard hack will help you survive any drives during the hot weather in the summer.
The recirculate air button can cool down your vehicle even without the air con switched on.
Located on your car dashboard, this button looks like the outline of a car with a circular arrow in the middle.
This often-missed button is designed to recycle the air inside your car instead of drawing outside air in.
By blocking air entering from outside your car, your cabin can cool down as quickly as possible.
This technique is especially optimal on days when the air outside the car is hotter than the inside – no hot air from the outside can come in and heat up your car even more.
With a quick blast of your air con, the air inside will be even colder – then, it can be continually recirculated for the rest of your journey.
However, an air con is not essential, and using it minimally can save you money and fuel in the future.
A spokesman for UK Car Discount, an online car retailer, told The Express: “No more waiting for the air conditioning to kick in – the air recirculation button has your back, ensuring you experience a swift and soothing transition from the outside heat.
“It works by recirculating the cool air you get from your A/C when you first turn it on. The longer it’s on for, the cooler your vehicle will get!
“If you don’t use it, the car will use the air from the outside that is a lot warmer, and your A/C will work harder and continuously to cool the hot air.”
