MANUAL AIR CONDITIONING, HEATING SYSTEM
1
Switching the air
recirculation on
Press button 4: the button's warning
light comes on. Under these conditions,
air is taken from the passenger com-
partment and is recirculated, with no air
being taken from outside the vehicle.
Air recirculation is for:
– isolating the vehicle from the exter-
nal atmosphere (driving in polluted
areas, etc.);
– to cool the passenger compartment
temperature more quickly when air
conditioning is activated.

If the air conditioning is not acti-
vated ("A/C" warning light on the 6
button goes off), prolonged use of
recirculated air may cause mist to
form on the side windows and wind-
screen as well as other problems
due to the presence of non-recircu-
lated air in the passenger compart-
ment. To avoid this, air recirculation
is disabled automatically after a cer-
tain time.
