Air distribution - recirculation

Select recirculation to shut out bad air,
exhaust gases etc. from the passenger com-
partment, i.e. no outside air is taken into the
car when this function is activated.
When recirculation is
engaged the orange lamp in
the button illuminates.
IMPORTANT
If the air in the car is recirculated for too
long then there is a risk of misting on the
insides of the windows.
Timer
With the timer function activated the system
will exit manually activated recirculation mode
according to a time that depends on the out-
side temperature. This reduces the risk of ice,
misting and bad air.
It is possible to activate/deactivate the func-
tion in the menu system MY CAR. For a
description of the menu system, see MY CAR
(p. 113).
