A/C button
Press and release this button to change the current setting, the LED lights up when turned ON.
Recirculation button
Press and release this button to change the system between “Recirculation” mode and “Outside air” mode. The
“Recirculation” mode can be used when outside conditions, such as smoke, odours, dust or high humidity are
present. The recirculation function can be used in all modes. The “Recirculation” function may be unavailable
(button on the touchscreen greyed out) if there are the conditions that could create fogging on the inside of the
windscreen. The A/C can be deselected manually without disturbing the mode control selection. It is, however,
inadvisable to use it on rainy/cold days, or with low external temperatures, as it would considerably increase the
possibility of the windows misting up inside rapidly (especially if the climate control system is off) and can foul
the air inside the car.

activate/deactivate automatic climate control system. The LED on the "AUTO" button on the dashboard lights

paragraph for more information.

Press and release to change the current airflow setting to defrost mode. The respective LED lights up when this

defrost and demist the windscreen and the side windows quickly.
This function will cause the automatic climate control system to switch into manual mode. If the front defrost
mode is turned off, the climate control system will return the previous setting.
