2. Recirculation
Recirculation can be used to shut out bad air,
exhaust, etc. from the passenger compartment.
The air in the passenger compartment is then
recirculated, i.e. no air from outside the car is
taken into the car when this function is
activated. Recirculation (together with the air
conditioning system) cools the passenger
compartment more quickly in a warm climate.
If you allow the air in the car to recirculate,
there is a risk of icing and misting, especially in
winter. The timer function minimises the risk of
ice, misting and bad air.
Activate the function as follows:
• Press for more than 3 seconds. The
LED flashes for 5 seconds. The air recir-

depending on the outside temperature.
• The timer function is activated each time
