4) Activation/deactivation button for
air re-circulation
When re-circulation is activated, the
air flow comes from within the
passenger compartment. Visually the
LED on the button switches on. To
deactivate the re-circulation function
press the button again; the LED on it
switches off. According to the climatic
conditions, re-circulation can be
inserted automatically by the system if
it has not previously been activated/
deactivated manually.
WARNING: Depending upon the
system operation (to heat or cool the
passenger compartment) the
recirculation function makes it possible
to reach the desired conditions more
rapidly. On particularly damp/cold days
you are advised not to use this function
since this could cause the windshield to
mist up. This function is recommended
during traffic jams, especially in
tunnels, to avoid polluted air entering
the compartment.
The prolonged use of this function is
however to be avoided when there are
many passengers.
