Only use the settings for defrosting the
windshield briefly, until the windshield is
clear again.
Only use air-recirculation mode briefly, e.g.
if there are unpleasant outside odors or
when in a tunnel. The windows could other-
wise fog up as no fresh air is drawn into the
vehicle in air-recirculation mode. The indica-
tor lamp in the h switch comes on when
the function is switched on.
