When you select reverse the car will automatically activate the recirculation function on the heater / air con system. It's to stop you reversing into your own exhaust gasses and blowing them into the car.
Sarcasm for free. Anything after that can only be considered as a bonus.

Just because you think you know something, doesn't make you an expert if you've just read it on the internet, y'know.
