1. What is Truck Ventilation?

Truck ventilation is a system that controls the airflow into the vehicle’s cabin. It allows you to choose the air source, either from outside or inside the truck, helping control air quality and temperature inside.

2. Types and Functions of Ventilation Modes

Generally, trucks and most modern vehicles are equipped with two main ventilation modes:

2.1. Fresh Air Mode:

• Description: This mode draws air from outside into the vehicle, providing a source of fresh, clean air.
• Function:
  • Supplies oxygen and reduces stuffiness: Especially useful during long drives or when the truck is carrying multiple passengers.
  • Eliminates odors and dust: Helps quickly remove unpleasant smells and dust accumulated inside the vehicle.
• Advantages: Improves air quality, creates a comfortable feeling.
• Disadvantages:
  • May draw in exhaust fumes and pollutants from the outside environment if driving in polluted areas.
  • Not effective in cooling or heating the vehicle.
• When to use:
  • When driving in areas with fresh air.
  • When you want to change the air inside the vehicle and eliminate odors.
  • When the vehicle has lingering food or cigarette smells.

2.2. Recirculation Mode:

• Description: This mode recirculates the air that has already been cooled or heated inside the vehicle.
• Function:
  • Cools/heats quickly: Helps the air conditioner operate more efficiently, quickly reaching the desired temperature.
  • Blocks dust and exhaust fumes: Prevents smoke, dust, and odors from outside from entering the vehicle.
• Advantages: Saves fuel, increases air conditioning efficiency.
• Disadvantages:
  • Can cause stuffiness and lack of oxygen if used for extended periods.
  • Creates conditions for bacteria and mold growth if not cleaned regularly.
• When to use:
  • When driving in polluted areas with heavy smoke and dust.
  • When you want to cool or heat the vehicle quickly.
  • When you want to maintain a stable temperature inside the vehicle.

3. Important Notes When Using Truck Ventilation

• Avoid using recirculation mode continuously for extended periods, especially when the truck is carrying multiple passengers. Alternate between the two modes to ensure proper air circulation.

• Pay attention to the ventilation mode indicator light on the dashboard to select the appropriate mode.
