Heating and air conditioning system
Lengthy and uneven distribution of the air flow out of the vents (in particular at the
leg area) and large differences in temperature, for example when getting out of the
vehicle, can result in chills in sensitive persons.
Recirculated air mode
In recirculated air mode air is sucked out of the interior of the vehicle
and then fed back into the interior. When the automatic air distribu-
tion control is switched on, an air quality sensor measures the
concentration of pollutants in the drawn-in air.
Recirculated air mode prevents polluted air outside the vehicle from
getting into the vehicle, for example when driving through a tunnel or
when standing in a traffic jam. If a considerable increase in concentration
of pollutants is recognized by the air quality sensor, when the automatic
air distribution control is switched on, the air distribution control will
temporarily be switched off. If the concentration of pollutants decreases
to the normal level, the air distribution control is automatically switched
off so that fresh air can be guided into the vehicle interior.

WARNING
You should not leave recirculated air mode on over a longer period of time,
as "stale" air may result in fatigue in the driver and occupants, divert your
attention and also cause the windows to mist up. The risk of having an acci-
dent increases. Switch recirculated air mode off as soon as the windows
begin misting up.

After the windscreen has been demisted, press the button
The automatic air distribution control operates only if the outside temperature
is higher than approx. 2°C.
Controlling blower
There are a total of seven blower stages available.
The Climatronic system controls the blower stages automatically in line
with the interior temperature. You can also, however, adapt the blower
stages manually to suit your particular needs.
– Press again the button
on the left side (reduce blower speed) or on
the right side (increase blower speed).
If you switch off the blower, the Climatronic is switched off.
