INTERNAL AIR RECIRCULATION
ACTIVATION
Press button

on board, to prevent the windows from misting.
IMPORTANT Internal air recirculation makes it
possible to reach the required heating or cooling
conditions more quickly depending on the mode
selected. Do not use the internal air recirculation
function on rainy/cold days as it would considerably
increase the possibility of the windows misting. ADDITIONAL HEATER
(for versions/markets, where provided)
This device warms up the passenger compartment
more quickly when it is very cold and the engine
coolant temperature is low.
The additional heater comes on automatically when
the engine is started, if knob A is turned to the
last red sector and the fan (knob C) is at least at the
first speed level.
The heater switches off automatically when the
required comfort conditions are achieved.
IMPORTANT The heater will not turn on if the
battery voltage is too low.

IMPORTANT Press
to introduce air from the
outside (in this case the LED on the button should be off ). ACTIVATION OF INTERNAL AIR RECIRCULATION AND ENABLEMENT OFAQS FUNCTION (Air Quality System) Press button
. Internal air recirculation is carried
out according to three possible operating modes: ❒
automatic control, signalled by the AQS sign on the display and the LED on button
being
off;
❒
forced deactivation (internal air recirculationalways off with introduction of outside air),indicated by the LED on button
being off;
❒
forced activation (internal air recirculation alwayson), signalled by the LED on button
being lit.
When OFF button is pressed, the climate controlsystem automatically activates internal airrecirculation (the LED on button T should be on). Itis still possible to activate outside air recirculation(LED on the button off ) and vice versa, by pressingbutton T. With the OFF button pressed (LED on the button is lit up), it is not possible to enable the AQS (AirQuality System) function.
IMPORTANT Internal air recirculation makes itpossible to reach the required heating or coolingconditions more quickly depending on the modeselected. It is not advisable to switch the internal airrecirculation on when it is rainy/cold to preventthe windows from misting, especially if the climatecontrol system has not been activated. It is advisableto switch the internal air recirculation on whilstqueuing or in tunnels to prevent the introduction ofpolluted air. Do not use the function for a longtime, particularly if there are several passengers onboard, to prevent the windows from misting. AQS (Air Quality System) function activation The AQS function (AQS sign on the display) automatically activates internal air recirculation whenthe outside air is polluted (e.g. in traffic queues andtunnels). IMPORTANT With the AQS function active, after approx. 15 consecutive minutes of the internalair recirculation system functioning, the climatecontrol system enables the intake of outside air forapproximately 1 minute to freshen the air in thepassenger compartment. This takes place regardlessof the pollution level of the outside air.
