If you read your car’s manual, it says to turn on the recirculating button once the super hot air has been cooled. The regular button allows outside air to come through the air conditioner, get cooled, and then exit the car, pushing the super hot air out of the cabin. THEN the recirculating button is pushed, and the cooled air remains in the cabin, easing the load on the AC system. Rolling down a rear window also gives the super hot air somewhere to escape. Roll the window up, let the air cool, and push the button.

I miss the cars we had before the sensors and modern technology. They were perfect, simple and lasted.

I keep my ac on recirculating air cuz I can’t handle the exhaust from other cars coming in. Instant migraine.

Mercifully, I drive a manual transmission car with a proper mechanical parking brake. It does NOT have one of these stupid stop/start features. It does NOT have a 'lane assist' feature. It does NOT have a 'touch-screen.' It does NOT have sat-nav. It does NOT have heated seats. And that's what I like - a simple, easy and straightforward to maintain car which almost any mechanic can fix.

Re the recirc: if it’s 80 out and 120 in the car, cool using the outside air then switch to recirc when the inside is less than 80.
