Vent settings
Direct the flow of air to the win‐
dows , to the upper body area
or to the knee area and foot‐
well . Intermediate settings are
possible. In the 6 o'clock position, a
small amount of air is also directed toward the
windows to keep them from fogging over.
Recirculated air mode
If the air outside the car has an un‐
pleasant odor or contains pollu‐
tants, shut off the supply to the interior of the car
temporarily. The system then recirculates the air
currently within the vehicle.
The recirculated air mode can also be
deactivated, refer to page 12,
the steering wheel.
Only use recirculated air mode for a limited
period
If condensation starts to form on the inside win‐
dow surfaces during operation in the recircu‐
lated air mode, you should switch it off while also
increasing the air flow rate as required. The re‐
circulated air mode should not be used contin‐
uously for lengthy periods; otherwise, the qual‐
ity of the air inside the car will gradually
deteriorate.◀
