Rear Window Defroster; Air Distribution; Windshield Heating - Mini Cooper Owner's Manual

Recirculated-air mode
If the air outside the car has an
unpleasant odor or contains pollut-
ants, shut off the supply to the inte-
rior of the car temporarily. The system then
recirculates the air currently within the vehicle.
If the windows fog in recirculated-air mode,
switch off the recirculated-air mode and
increase the air volume if necessary. Ensure that
air can flow onto the windshield.
The recirculated-air mode is automatically deac-
tivated at low outside temperatures.
The recirculated-air mode should not be
used over an extended period of time;
otherwise, the air quality in the passenger com-
partment will deteriorate
