Overview
- The viral TikTok clip by @master_driver666 demonstrating the recirculate-and-A/C technique has gained widespread traction and spurred extensive UK media coverage.
- Motorists are urged to use the dashboard button marked by an arrow and car-interior symbol to recycle cooler internal air instead of drawing in warmer outside air.
- A UK Car Discount spokesperson highlights that the feature can rapidly cool a parked car and prevent the A/C from overworking on hot external air.
- The RAC advises closing all windows once the A/C is cold, switching to recirculated air and adjusting upper vents to maintain comfort with lower fuel consumption.
- Drivers note additional benefits including less pollen entering the cabin for hayfever sufferers and uninterrupted cooling during slow-moving traffic without lowering windows.
