You can deactivate the flow of fresh air if
unpleasant odors are entering the vehicle
from outside. The air already inside the
vehicle will then be recirculated.
The operation of the air-recirculation mode is
the same for all control panels.
Fogged windows impair visibility,
endangering you and others. If the windows
begin to fog on the inside, switching off the
air recirculation mode immediately should

window fogging persists, make sure the air
conditioning is activated, or press the

Switching the residual heat on/off
Only 3-zone automatic climate control in
vehicles in Canada features the "residual
heat" function.
It is possible to make use of the residual heat
of the engine to continue heating the
stationary vehicle for up to 30 minutes after
the engine has been switched off. The heating
time depends on the temperature that has
been set.

The blower will run at a low speed
regardless of the airflow setting.

If you activate the "residual heat" function
at high temperatures, only the ventilation
will be activated. The blower runs at
medium speed.

It is possible that the "residual heat"
function may be activated automatically an
hour after the SmartKey is removed. The
vehicle is then ventilated for 30 minutes to
dry the air-conditioning system.
