The common yet confusing button found in almost every car is something that many of us drivers have never known what to do with...until now.
TikToker@megansbubblehas gone viral for stunning motorists with her video: "Car tips and tricks. I bet you didn't know what this car button is actually used for."
As shown in the clip above, the TikToker points to the 'air recirculation button' - the one with an arrow inside a car.
梅根说:“从本质上讲,这将为您做什么,这意味着您正在循环汽车内的空气。
“So if it's extraordinarily hot inside of your car when you first get in you want to turn this off so that you suck in the outside air.
“如果您坐在其他汽车前,您将吸入所有的排气烟雾,请使用此按钮,以便汽车内的空气循环,并且不会吸入所有不良的空气中。“
Well, it turns out that those unaware of the button could be saving on your bills, as AA spokesperson, Luke Bosdet explained: "If you don’t know what the recirculation button does and have been blasting the air con to try to cool passengers on the back seat, you’ve been missing a trick and paying for it."
Anyway, the viral vid sparked a big reaction from viewers, with one person writing: "I literally just leave it on all the time I have no clue what it does."
“I thought it was pumping air throughout the car," a second person added.
While someone else explained: "It basically recycles the air in the car instead of using outside air. It uses less power and is better for keeping the car warm or cool."
Another joked: "Actually it’s for when you crash your car and then you press it to undo the damage."
Don't try this at home folks.
