WARNING
Stale air can lead to rapid fatigue and decreased concentration of the driver,
causing collisions, accidents and serious injuries.
● Never use recirculated air mode for an extended period, as no fresh air en-
ters the interior.
● When the cooling system is switched off, the windows can become fogged
very quickly in recirculated air mode, greatly limiting visibility.
● Always switch off recirculated air mode when it is not required.
NOTICE
Do not smoke in vehicles equipped with air conditioning in recirculated air
mode. The drawn smoke may form deposits on the evaporator of the cooling
system as well as on the dust and pollen filter, in Climatronic equipped with
an activated charcoal insert, resulting in permanent odour nuisance.
Note
When the reverse gear is selected and while the automatic wash-wipe is working,
the recirculated air mode is briefly activated to prevent the ingress of exhaust
gasses into the vehicle.
