WARNING
The recirculation system cannot be switched on for a longer period of time,
because there is no supply of fresh air from the outside. "Stale air" may re-
sult in fatigue in the driver and occupants, reduce attention levels and also
cause the windows to mist up. The risk of having an accident increases.
Switch off recirculated air mode as soon as the windows start to mist up.
CAUTION
We recommend not smoking in the vehicle when the recirculating air operation
is switched on. The smoke sucked from inside the vehicle is deposited on the
evaporator of the air conditioner. This produces a permanent odour when the
air conditioning system is operating which can only be eliminated through con-
siderable effort and expense (replacement of compressor).
Note
If recirculated air mode is switched on for around 15 minutes, the symbol 
will begin to flash in the Climatronic 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.
