the air is directed towards the windscreen, the
side windows upper body and into the footwell.
The cooling function, see page

as much as possible.

Automatic air recirculation
control AUC
Principle
Automatic air recirculation control AUC detects
pollutants in the outside air. The supply of out‐
side air is shut off and the interior air is recircula‐
ted.
General
When the system is activated, a sensor detects
pollutants in the outside air and controls the
shut-off automatically.
When the system is deactivated, outside air
flows into the interior continuously.
Continuous recirculated-air mode deteriorates
the air quality in the interior and condensation on
the windows increases.

Recirculated-air mode
Principle
If the air outside the vehicle has an unpleasant
odour or contains pollutants, the supply to the in‐
terior of the vehicle can be shut off. The air inside
the vehicle is then recirculated.
