What is recirculation mode in car AC?

Use recirculation mode to help your AC system work more efficiently to cool your vehicle down by keeping hot outside air from moving through the unit.

Why? Because the air temperature in the car far exceeds the air temperature outside (a 30-degree day means the temperature inside can easily get to 60-degrees) thus using the recirculated air the air conditioner has to try to cool down 60-degree air as opposed to 30-degree air if it wasn’t on.
