• Using the internal air intake mode, the air conditioning system will consume more fuel than the outside air intake mode, especially in hot weather because of the temperature difference between outside and inside the car, making it difficult to operate. consumes more fuel in cooling.
• When parking, you should not leave the mode to take the outside air because it can accumulate CO gas, causing a feeling of drowsiness, sometimes poisoning.

In Mercedes models, the car usually defaults to the external air intake mode, if it is adjusted to the internal air intake mode, it will also be automatically turned back 30 minutes later, which causes a lot of trouble for the driver.
