Air distribution control

terior of the vehicle. In recirculated air mode air is sucked out of the interior of
the vehicle and then fed back into the interior.

Heating and manual air conditioning system
If the air distribution control is set to position  when the recirculation modes
is switched on, the recirculated-air mode is switched off. By pressing the 
button, the air recirculation also in this position can be switched on again.
When the cooling system ( button) is switched on and the temperature reg-
ulator is "turned" to the left, the recirculated-air mode is switched on.
Climatronic
The Climatronic can have a sensor that measures the air recirculation mode
and automatically turns on if there is an increased concentration of pollutants
in the incoming air.
When the pollutant concentration decreases to the normal level, the recircula-
ted air mode is automatically switched off.
Automatic switch-on/switch-off of the air recirculation function can be set in
the Infotainment screen, by pressing the  button on the Climatronic and by
then pressing the function surface  → Automatic air recirculation.
A shut-off of the air recirculation function takes place automatically by press-
ing the button, possibly depending on the moisture conditions in the vehi-
cle interior.
WARNING
The air recirculation cannot be switched on for a longer period of time be-
cause there is no supply of fresh air from the outside. "Stale air" may result
in fatigue in the driver and occupants, reduce attention levels and also
cause the windows to mist up. As soon as the windows mist up, turn the air
recirculation mode off immediately - there is a risk of accident!

Using the system
CAUTION
We recommend not smoking in the vehicle when the recirculating air opera-
tion is switched on. The smoke sucked from inside the vehicle is deposited on
the evaporator of the air conditioner. This produces a permanent odour when
the air conditioning system is operating which can only be eliminated through
considerable effort and expense (replacement of compressor).
Climatronic - Air Care function


The Air CareFunction reduces pollutant penetration contained in the outside
air into the vehicle.
When the function is activated, the air in the vehicle is circulated and cleaned
at the same time. The cleaning process is displayed by the zones displayed in
