Air recirculation (isolation of
the passenger compartment)
K
This function is managed automatically
(operation is confirmed by a warning
light on button 7), but you can also acti-
vate it manually.
NB:
– during recirculation, air is taken from the passenger compartment and
is recycled, with no air being taken
from outside the vehicle;
– air recirculation allows the external atmosphere to be cut off (when driv-
ing in polluted areas, etc.);
– the recirculation of air makes it pos- sible to reach the desired passenger
compartment temperature quicker.
1
The demisting/de-icing will still take
priority over the air recirculation.
Manual use
Press button 7 – the integrated indica-
tor light comes on.
Prolonged use of this position may lead
to odours, caused by non-renewal of
air, and the formation of condensation
on the windows.
We therefore advise you to return to au-
tomatic mode as soon as air recircula-
tion is no longer needed, by pressing
button 7.
To exit this function, press button 7
again. Stopping the system
Turn the control 6 to “OFF” to stop the
system. To start it, turn the control
6
again, then adjust the fan speed or
press the button 1.
