Recirculation
Recirculation can be
used to shut out bad air,
exhaust, etc. from the
passenger compartment.
The air in the passenger
compartment is then recirculated, i.e. no air
from outside the car is taken into the car when
this function is activated. Recirculation
(together with the air conditioning system)
cools the passenger compartment more quickly
in a warm climate.
If you allow the air in the car to recirculate,
there is a risk of icing and misting, especially in
winter. The timer function minimises the risk of
ice, misting and bad air.
Activate the function as follows:
• Press for more than 3 seconds.
The LED flashes for 5 seconds. The air
recirculates in the car for 3-12 minutes
depending on the outside temperature.
• The timer function is activated each time
you press .
To switch off the timer function:
• Press again for more than 3 seconds.
The LED lights for 5 seconds to confirm
your selection.
Recirculation is always disconnected when you
select Defroster.
