WARNING
You should not leave recirculated air mode on over a longer period
of time, as "stale" air may result in fatigue in the driver and occu-
pants, divert your attention and also cause the windows to mist up.
The risk of having an accident increases. Switch recirculated air
mode off as soon as the windows begin misting up.
Note
•
If the air distribution is positioned towards the windows, the total
amount of air is used to defrost the windows and thus no air will be fed to
the footwell. This can lead to restriction of the heating comfort.
•
The used air streams out through the air removal openings in the
luggage compartment.
•
Have the air conditioning system cleaned by a specialist workshop
