automatically after several minutes.

vated.

Activating/deactivating air-recircula-
tion mode
General notes
You can also temporarily deactivate the flow of
fresh air manually if unpleasant odours are
entering the vehicle from outside. The air
already inside the vehicle will then be recircula-
ted.
If you activate air-recirculation mode, the win-
dows can mist up more quickly, particularly at
low outside temperatures. Use air-recirculation
mode only briefly to prevent the windows from
misting up.
