No. The people who manufactured your car would not have allowed such a setting if it were not advisable. The deal is, like others have said, when you use the recirculate setting, the air inside the car is being cooled, and recirculated, which actually helps the A/C by keeping it from working so hard. If you are constantly cooling hot outside air before it is brought into the car, the A/C has to work harder to keep the inside of the car cool. The down side to using the recirculate setting is that the air inside the car isn't replaced with fresh outside air as much, so if you have a car full of sweaty people, smokers, people with smelly shoes, or other sources of odors, those odors stay in the car instead of being replaced with fresh outside air. In damp weather, it's better not to use the recirculate setting since the inside of the windows tends to fog up more because of the moisture generated by your breathing. One good thing about the recirculate feature is that if you are about to pull in behind a smokey diesel truck or other fume-belching vehicle, you can set the controls to recirculate so your car doesn't suck as much of that crap into the car.
No, not at all. If you recirculate the air in the car it will allow it to get colder in the cabin. On really hot days you should run it on max with at least one window part way down then when it starts cooling off and you run the hot air out, roll up the window and switch it to recirculate.
the first guy who answered your question is wrong. it is perfectly fine to use recirc with ac. the ac will actually blow colder with this setting
No. It will suck the colder cabin air back in and actually make for colder ac. A lot of cars have a Max Ac setting which activates the recirc.
Yes not only will it make it colder but will be easier on the compressor which will not have to run as much win win
well it could blow some fuses, or mess up some wiring but. i would'nt advise it.
