sired temperature.
Cooling function
The interior can only be cooled when the en‐
gine is running.
Press the button.
Air is cooled and dried, then reheated
to suit the temperature setting.
Depending on weather conditions, the wind‐
screen and side windows may mist over mo‐
mentarily when the engine is started.
Condensation water, see page 181, develops
in the air conditioning and leaks underneath
the vehicle.
Recirculated-air mode
If the air outside the vehicle has an unpleasant
odour or contains pollutants, the supply to the
interior of the vehicle can be shut off. The air
inside the vehicle is then recirculated.
Press button repeatedly to call up an
operating mode:
▷ LED off: ambient air is constantly entering
the car.
▷ LED on, recirculated-air mode: the ambient
air supply is permanently shut off.
The recirculated-air mode automatically
switches off at low outside temperatures after
a given time, to avoid condensation.
Continuous recirculated-air mode deteriorates
the air quality in the interior and condensation
on the windows increases.
