about +38 °F (+3 °C).
Temporarily deactivating the automatic air recirculation
Press the
button once to switch to air recirculation temporarily in the event of unpleasant odors.
The left indicator light comes on.
Press the

WARNING
Stale air causes driver fatigue and reduces driver alertness, which can cause accidents,
collisions and serious personal injury.
Never use air recirculation mode over an extended period of time, since no fresh air will
enter the passenger compartment.
When the air conditioner is off and recirculation mode is on, condensation can quickly
form on the windows and greatly reduce visibility.
Always switch off recirculation mode when it is not needed.
NOTICE
Do not smoke when air recirculation is switched on. Smoke drawn into the ventilation system
can leave residue on the evaporator and on the dust and pollen active carbon filter, resulting in
permanent odors whenever the air conditioner is switched on.
Climatronic: When backing up and while the automatic wiper/washer is operating, air
recirculation is briefly activated to help keep exhaust fumes from getting into the passenger
compartment.
