Fragrancing
General information
Fragrancing is done at intervals in order to avoid
a habituation effect.
Two fragrance cartridges in the vehicle allow
switching between the fragrances.
The fragrance cartridges are located in the glove
compartment.
To ensure a pleasant fragrance inside of the ve‐
hicle when starting the trip, fragrancing can occur
prior to the trip. The system is automatically
switched on with the parked-car ventilation if fra‐
grancing was switched on at the end of the last
trip.
