Recirculated air mode
Recirculated air mode prevents polluted air outside the vehicle getting into the
vehicle, for example when driving through a tunnel or when standing in a traffic
jam.
By turning the air distribution controller
mode is automatically turned off and the cooling system is switched on.
By repeatedly pressing the Symbol key, the recirculation mode can also be
switched on again with this setting.
WARNING
Do not leave recirculated air mode on over a longer period of time, as "stale"
■
air can cause fatigue of the driver and passengers, reduce attention levels and
also cause the windows to mist up. The risk of having an accident increases.
Switch off recirculated air mode as soon as the windows start to mist up.
"Stale air" may result in fatigue in the driver and occupants, reduce attention
■
levels and also cause the windows to mist up. The risk of having an accident
increases.

on page 37.
The Climatronic in automatic mode ensures the best-possible setting of the tem-
perature of the outflowing air, the blower stage and air distribution.
The system also takes sunlight into account, which eliminates the need to alter
the settings manually.
Individual functions can be adjusted or switched on by turning the knob or by
pressing the corresponding key. When this function is switched on, the the corre-
sponding symbol is illuminated in the display.

Cooling
If the blower is switched off, the Climatronic system is switched off.
The automatic mode is used in order to maintain a constant temperature and to
demist the windows in the interior of the car. This function is automatically
turned on after the ignition is switched on.
After the cooling system is switched off, only the ventilation function remains ac-
tive whereby the minimum temperature that can be reached is the outside tem-
perature.
Setting temperature
The interior temperature can be set between +18 °C and +29 ℃. The interior tem-
perature is regulated automatically within this range.
If you select the temperature below +18 ℃, "LO" appears in the display. If you se-
lect the temperature higher than +29 °C, "HI" appears in the display. In both end
positions, the Climatronic system operates at maximum cooling or heating capaci-
ty. No automatic temperature control occurs in this process.
