Operating the climate control system
96
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
system 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 windows may mist up more
quickly, particularly when the outside tem-
perature is low. Therefore, 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 auto-
matic start/stop system. The engine starts
again.
smart fortwo cabrio: when the soft top is
open, the climate control system is always
deactivated. When the temperature is set to
maximum cooling, the climate control sys-
tem remains activated.
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 inte-
rior. For this reason, always observe the
interval for replacing the filter.
