Kabinendurchlüftung

Kabinendurchlüftung refers to the ventilation system within the passenger compartment of a vehicle. Its primary function is to maintain a comfortable and healthy environment for occupants by regulating temperature, humidity, and air quality. This is achieved through a combination of fresh air intake and recirculation of cabin air.

Fresh air is drawn into the cabin from outside, filtered to remove dust, pollen, and other contaminants. This fresh air can then be heated or cooled by the vehicle's climate control system before being distributed throughout the cabin. Recirculation mode allows the system to temporarily stop drawing in outside air and instead circulate the air already within the cabin. This is often used to quickly cool down or heat the interior, or to prevent the intake of unpleasant odors or pollutants from outside.

The control of Kabinendurchlüftung is typically managed by the vehicle's HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning) system. Users can adjust fan speed, temperature settings, and air distribution modes (e.g., directing air to the feet, face, or windshield) through a control panel. Modern vehicles often feature automatic climate control systems that use sensors to monitor cabin temperature and humidity, automatically adjusting the ventilation to maintain a set level. Effective Kabinendurchlüftung is crucial for driver comfort, reducing fatigue, and preventing window fogging, thereby contributing to overall driving safety.
