The a ir circulation switch 4 switches the
air conditioning sy stem to air circulation
mode (control indicator).
If fumes or unpleasant odours penetra te

riorates which may cause the vehicle occu-
pants to feel drowsy .
Switch the air distribution to V: the air cir-
culation system is autom atically shut off to
provide faster demisting of the windows.
