Recirculation


First read and observe the introductory information and safety warn-
ings on page 91.
Recirculated air mode prevents polluted air outside the vehicle from getting into
the vehicle, e.g. when driving through a tunnel or in a traffic jam.
In recirculated air mode air is sucked out of the interior of the vehicle and then
fed back into the interior.
Heating and air conditioning (manual air conditioning)
To turn the recirculation mode on or off, press the Symbol key  .
The air recirculation mode is automatically turned off by turning the air distribu-
tion control to position  » Fig. 93
C
Recirculated air mode can be switched on again from this position by repeatedly
pressing the symbol button .
Climatronic (automatic air conditioning)
To turn the recirculation mode on, press the Symbol key  repeatedly until the
indicator light is lit on the left side of the button.
To activate the automatic recirculation mode, press the Symbol key  repeat-
edly until the indicator light is lit on the right side of the button.
Climatronic has an air quality sensor for the detection of the pollutant concentra-
tion in the sucked-in air.
If a considerable increase in concentration of pollutants is recognised by the air
quality sensor, recirculated air mode will temporarily be switched on.
If the concentration of pollutants decreases to the normal level, the air distribu-
tion control is automatically switched off so that fresh air can be guided into the
vehicle interior.
If the air quality sensor does not automatically switch on the recirculated air
mode in the event of an unpleasant odour, you can switch it on yourself by press-
ing the button . The indicator light lights up in the button on the left side.
on page 94 or » Fig. 94 on page 94 .
To turn off the air recirculation or to deactivate the automatic air recirculations,
press the  button of press the  symbol button repeatedly until the warning
lights in the button go out.
WARNING

Never leave recirculated air mode switched on over a longer period of time, as
"stale air" can cause driver and passenger fatigue, reduce attention levels and
also cause the windows to mist up. The risk of having an accident increases.
Switch off recirculated air mode as soon as the windows start to mist up.
CAUTION
We recommend not smoking in the vehicle when the recirculating air operation is
switched on. The smoke sucked from inside the vehicle is deposited on the evap-
orator of the air conditioner. This produces a permanent odour when the air con-
ditioning system is operating which can only be eliminated through considerable
effort and expense (replacement of compressor).
Note
The automatic air distribution control operates only if the outside temperature is
higher than approx. 2 °C.
