Air flow rate
Air distribution
Direct the flow of air to the win-
dows , to the upper body area
or to the footwell
ate settings are possible.
Recirculated-air mode
If the air outside the car has an
unpleasant odour or contains pol-
lutants, shut off the supply to the
interior of the car temporarily. The
air inside the car is recirculated.
You can also activate/deactivate recirculated-
air mode by means of a button
wheel, see page 9.
If the windows fog over in the recircu-
lated-air mode, switch it off and, if neces-
sary, increase the air flow rate.
The recirculated-air mode should not be used
continuously for lengthy periods, as the quality
of the air inside the car will otherwise gradually
deteriorate.<
Air flow rate
Adjust the air flow. The higher the
rate, the more effective the heating
or cooling will be.
