CAUTION
Lengthy and uneven distribution of the air flow out of the vents (especially
around the feet) and large differences in temperature, for example, when get-
ting out of the vehicle, can cause susceptible individuals to catch a cold.
Recirculated air mode
Recirculated air mode prevents polluted air from outside the vehicle getting in-
to the vehicle, for example when driving through a tunnel or when standing in
a traffic jam.

WARNING
Never leave recirculated air mode on over a longer period of time, as "stale
air" can cause fatigue of the driver and the passengers, reduce attention
levels and also cause the windows to mist up. The risk of having an acci-
dent increases. Switch off recirculated air mode as soon as the windows
start to mist up.
Note
If recirculated air mode is switched on for around 15 minutes, the symbol
will begin to flash in the display as a sign that the recirculated air mode is
switched on long-term. If the recirculated air mode is not switched off, the
symbol flashes for around 5 minutes.
Controlling blower
The Climatronic system controls the blower stages automatically in line with
the interior temperature. However, the blower level can be manually adjusted
to suit your particular needs.
