Activating/deactivating air-recircula-
tion mode
Points to observe before use
You can deactivate the flow of fresh air if
unpleasant odours are entering the vehicle
from outside. The air already inside the vehi-
cle will then be recirculated.
If you switch on air-recirculation mode, the
windows can mist up more quickly, in partic-
ular at low temperatures. Only use air-recir-
culation mode briefly to prevent the windows
misting up.
The operation of air-recirculation mode is the
same for all control panels.
