Hi,
Here's the scenario: You are driving along and get stuck behind a bus, which is just about to move away from a bus stop. All of a sudden a cloud of black smelly exhaust fumes as the bus accelerates engulfs your car and the pollution enters your car cabin. I'm sure this has happened to us many a time!
What do you normally do to counteract the horrible fumes?
Usually as soon as I see any black smoke from the bus in front, I'll immediately hit the air recirculation button to recirculate the existing clean air in my cabin. The theory is that it will also close off the vents to prevent outside (bus fumes air) from entering the cabin. However, sometimes I may not hit the air recirculation button in time!
Or is it better to leave the air recirculation off, and bear with the bus fumes entering your car cabin, in the knowledge that fresh outside air (once you have overtaken the bus) will replace the inside air?
