Air recycle on/off button
It is advisable to switch internal air
recirculation on while standing in
queues or in tunnels to prevent the
introduction of polluted air.
Led on button ON = recycle ON.
Led on button OFF = recycle OFF.
For low temperatures or if the
compressor is off, the recycle is forced
to off to avoid misting.
IMPORTANT It is advisable not to use
the air recycle function when the
outside temperature is low, to prevent
the windows from rapidly misting up.
