94 Heating and air conditioning system
Recirculated air mode
In recirculated air mode air is sucked out of the interior of the vehicle
and then fed back into the interior.
Recirculated air mode prevents polluted air outside the vehicle from getting into the
vehicle, for example when driving through a tunnel or when standing in a traffic jam.
Switching recirculated air mode on
– Press the button - the warning light lights up in the button

again from this setting by repeatedly pressing pushbutton
WARNING
You should not leave recirculated air mode on over a longer period of time, as
"stale" air may result in fatigue in the driver and occupants, divert your attention
and also cause the windows to mist up. The risk of having an accident increases.
Switch recirculated air mode off as soon as the windows begin misting up.
Air conditioning system (manual air conditioning
system)
Description
The air conditioning system is a combined cooling and heating
system. It makes it possible to optimally control the air temperature
at any season of the year.
Description of the air conditioning system
It is important for your safety and for your driving comfort that the air conditioning
system is operating properly.
 page 92,
106. You can also switch recirculated air mode on
.

The cooling only operates if button
conditions are met:
•
engine running,
•
outside temperature above approx. +2 °C and
•
blower switch switched on (positions 1 to 4).
Air at a temperature of about 5 °C may flow out of the vents under certain circum-
stances when the cooling system is operating. Lengthy and uneven distribution of
the air flow out of the vents and large differences in temperature, for example when
getting out of the vehicle, can result in chills in sensitive persons.
Note
•
We recommend that you have the air conditioning system cleaned by a specialist
garage once every year.
•
In countries with high humidity, we recommend you do not use this setting.
