system has been functioning for a set
amount of time, the Climate Control
System enables air intake to cycle the
air in the passenger compartment for a
set time. The AQS function is disabled
during the air changes.
The engagement of the recirculation
system makes it possible to reach the
required heating or cooling conditions
faster. It is, however, inadvisable to use
it on rainy/cold days as it can increase
the possibility of the windows fogging.
When the outside temperature is low,
recirculation is forced off to prevent the
windows from fogging up.
