in exter ior temperature and the effects of temperature from the
position of the sun are compensated for automatica lly.
This operating mode works only in the adjustable temperature range, from 60 °F ( + 16 °C) to 84 °F ( +28 °C). If a temperature below
60 °F (+16 °C) is se lected,

The ECON mode helps to save fuel.
The air conditioning is turned off in ECON mode. "ECON" means
"Economy" . By switching off the air conditioning (compressor), you
save fuel.
Please note that vehic le interior temperature cannot be lower than
the outs ide temperature in the ECON mode . The air is not cooled or

Automatic recirculation mode
An air quality sensor detects incre ased concentratio ns of
pollutants in the outside air and aut omatically switches
to recirculation mode.
We recommend that you always keep automatic air recirculation ON
to prevent polluted outside air from entering the vehicle interior .
I f the
air qualit y sensor located in the air conditioning system
detects po lluted outside air, the sensor decides whether the air
pol lution can be reduced by the factory -installed po llutant filter or
whe ther it is necessary to swi tch to air recirculatio n. With heavy
concentrations of pol lutants, the air conditioning system is
sw itched automatically to rec irculation mode and the supp ly of
outside air is blocked . As soon as the concentration of pollutants in
the outside a ir drops, fresh air is supp lied to the vehic le inte rior
aga in.
I n the event that the windows fog up during automatic air recircu la ­
t ion, you must press the® button immed iately.
Under certain operating conditions , automatic air recircu lation is
sw itched off automatically. With outside temperatures be low about
+10 °C , automatic air recirculation is limited to 30 seconds. With
outside temperatures below about -1 °C and in the ECO N mode,
automatic air recirculation is limited to 15 seconds .•
