Air recirculation mode
Principle

in the immediate environment by temporarily
suspending the supply of outside air. The system
then recirculates the interior air.

5. Select the desired setting:
▷ "Air recirculation"
▷ "Fresh air"
To prevent window fogging, recirculated-air
mode switches off automatically after a certain
amount of time, depending on the environmental
conditions.
