recirculation

Read and observe and
Recirculated air mode mostly 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.
In recirculated air mode air is sucked out of the interior of the vehicle and then
fed back into the interior.

To turn off the air recirculation, move the slider into position
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).
Efficient handling of the cooling system

Read and observe
The air conditioning system compressor uses power from the engine when in
cooling mode, which will affect the fuel consumption.
It recommended to open the windows or the doors of a vehicle for which the
interior has been strongly heated through the effect of direct sunlight in order
to allow the heated air to escape.
The cooling system should not be on if the windows are open.
For the sake of the environment
Pollutant emissions are also reduced when fuel is saved

The cooling system has switched off automatically for a short time because
the coolant temperature of the engine is too hot
If you are not able to resolve the operational problem yourself, or if the cooler
output has reduced, switch off the cooling system and seek assistance from a
specialist garage.
