Operating the climate control system
Useful information
The climate control system is only available
when the engine is running.
If the climate control system is deactivated,
the air supply and circulation are switched
off. The windows could mist up. You should
therefore switch off the climate control sys-
tem for brief periods only.
In air-recirculation mode, only the air inside
the vehicle is recirculated and no fresh air is
introduced. This is useful in a tunnel or when
there are unpleasant odours outside the
vehicle. In air-recirculation mode, the win-
dows may mist up more quickly, particularly
when the outside temperature is low. There-
fore, switch on air-recirculation mode only
briefly.
If the automatic start/stop system switches
the engine off, the air inside the vehicle will
not be air-conditioned or dehumidified. The
windows can mist up more quickly. If the
windows mist up, deactivate the automatic
start/stop system. The engine starts again.
The integrated filter in the climate control
system keeps out most particles of dust as
well as pollen. The filter reduces the amount
of air supplied to the vehicle interior. For this
reason, you should always observe the inter-
val for replacing the filter.
