Air Recirculation And Air Quality System
(AQS)
Air Recirculation is managed according to the
following operating mode:
Automatic engagement: indicator is illumi-
nated above the "A" on the Air Recirculation
Button
Forced activation (air circulation always
activated): indicator illuminated above the
icon on the Air Recirculation Button
Forced
deactivation
(air
always off with intake of outside air): both
indicators not illuminated on the Air Recir-
culation Button
The three operating conditions are obtained by
pushing the Air Recirculation Button
sequence.
Enabling The Air Quality System (AQS) Func-
tion — If Equipped
When the automatic recirculation function is
selected, the AQS function automatically acti-
vates internal air recirculation when the
outside air is polluted (e.g. in heavy traffic and
tunnels).
At low external temperatures or in high
humidity, the automatic function turns off to
avoid fogging up the windows. The user can
select the function again by pushing the Air
Recirculation Button.
In automatic operation, air recirculation will be
controlled by the system according to outside
environmental conditions.
NOTE:
With the AQS function active and after the
internal air recirculation system has been
functioning for a set amount of time, the
Climate Control System enables air intake
to cycle the air in the passenger compart-
ment for a set time. The AQS function is
disabled during the air changes.
recirculation
The engagement of the recirculation system
makes it possible to reach the required
heating or cooling conditions faster. It is,
however, inadvisable to use it on rainy/cold
days as it can increase the possibility of the
windows
fogging.
in
temperature is low, recirculation is forced
off to prevent the windows from fogging up.
A/C Compressor
Push the A/C button or the icon to activate or
deactivate the A/C compressor (indicator illu-
minated when activated). The A/C compressor
will remain off even after the engine has
stopped.
When the A/C compressor is turned off, the
system deactivates air recirculation to prevent
the windows from fogging up. If the climate
control system can maintain the temperature,
with the A/C turned off, the AUTO feature will
remain on and the AUTO button indicator light
will not switch off.
