Air distribution – recirculation
Recirculation can be used to shut out exhaust fumes, smoke, etc., from the passenger com-partment.The air in the passengercompartment is then recircu-lated, i.e., no air from outsidethe car is taken into the carwhen this function is acti-vated. The indicator light inthe button will illuminate
when recirculation is selected. If the air in the car recirculates for too long, there is a risk of condensation forming on theinsides of the windows, especially in winter.
TimerThe timer function minimizes the risk of fog- ging, or stale air when the recirculation func-tion is selected by automatically switching offthe function after a certain length of time,depending on the ambient temperature. Acti-vate/deactivate the function under
