Switching air-recirculation mode
on/off
General notes
You can deactivate the flow of fresh air if
unpleasant odours are entering the vehicle from
outside. The air already inside the vehicle will
then be recirculated.
If you activate air-recirculation mode, the win-
dows can mist up more quickly, in particular at
low temperatures. Only use air-recirculation
mode briefly to prevent the windows misting up.
