To prevent the front side windows from misting
up in wet weather, it's a good idea to open the
side air outlets and point them to the side.

The
air quality sensor, which is designed for the de
tection of diesel and petrol exhaust fumes, au
tomatically switches the air recirculation mode
on or off depending on the level of pollution in
the outside air.
In air recirculation mode, the air from the interi
or of the vehicle is filtered and recirculated. This
setting prevents fumes etc. from entering the in
terior. We recommend switching on the air recir
culation mode when driving through a tunnel or
in traffic queues¢

Switching the rear window heating

If the rear window heating is activated with the
ignition switched on, the battery management
determines whether or not the battery charge
level is sufficient for the rear window heating to
be switched on. Otherwise the rear window heat
ing operates when the engine is running, and
switches off automatically after about

WARNING
For reasons of safety you should not leave the
air recirculation switched on for too long. This
mode prevents fresh air from entering the ve
hicle, so the windows can mist over if the air
cooling is switched off. Bad visibility can
cause an accident.
