Air Recirculation And Air
Quality System (AQS)
Air Recirculation is managed according
to the following operating mode:
Automatic engagement: indicator is
illuminated above the "A" on the Air
Recirculation Button
Forced activation (air circulation
.
always activated): indicator illuminated
above the icon on the Air
Recirculation Button
Forced deactivation (air recirculation
always off with intake of outside air):
both indicators not illuminated on the
Air Recirculation Button
The three operating conditions are
obtained by pushing the Air
Recirculation Button
Enabling The Air Quality System
(AQS) Function — If Equipped
When the automatic recirculation
function is selected, the AQS function
automatically activates internal air
recirculation when the outside air is
polluted (e.g. in heavy traffic and
tunnels).
At low external temperatures or in high
humidity, the automatic function turns
off to avoid fogging up the windows.
The user can select the function again
by pushing the Air Recirculation Button.
In automatic operation, air recirculation
will be controlled by the system
according to outside environmental
conditions.
Note:
With the AQS function active and
after the internal air recirculation
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,
in sequence. recirculation is forced off to prevent the
windows from fogging up.
