Operation
Functioning mode of automatic air recircu-
lation (air conditioning menu)
With the automatic air recirculation mode ac-
tivated, the entry of fresh air into the cabin in-
terior is enabled. If the system detects a high
concentration of hazardous substances in the
ambient air, air recirculation mode is switched
on automatically. When the level of impurities
drops to within a normal range, recirculation
mode is switched off.
The system is unable to detect unpleasant
smells.
The air recirculation will
not
connect auto-
matically in versions without humidity sensor
and in the following external conditions:
●
The outside temperature is lower than +3°C
(+38°F).
●
The cooling system is switched off and the
outside temperature is below +10°C (+50°F).
●
The cooling system is switched off, the out-
side temperature is below +15°C (+59°F) and
the windscreen wipers are switched on.
Activation/deactivation of automatic air recir-
culation is done in the air conditioner menu,
under Configuration.
WARNING
Observe the safety warnings
.
●
If the cooling system is switched off and
air recirculation mode switched on, the
windows can mist over very quickly, con-
siderably limiting visibility.
●
Switch air recirculation mode off when it
is not required.
CAUTION
Do not smoke when air recirculation is
switched on in vehicles with an air condi-
tioner. The smoke taken in could lie on the
cooling system vaporiser and on the acti-
vated charcoal cartridge of the dust and
pollen filter, leading to a permanently un-
pleasant smell.
Note
Climatronic: air recirculation mode is acti-
vated to prevent exhaust gas or unpleasant
odours from entering the vehicle interior
when it is in reverse and while the automat-
ic windscreen wiper is working.
Heated windscreen*
Fig. 186
Windscreen humidity and tempera-
ture sensor.
The heated windscreen is comprised of a set
of heated wires placed between the layers of
the windscreen which, when electric current
is supplied to them, heat up and cause the
temperature of the glass to rise.
Its function is to assist the air-conditioning
system to prevent the windscreen from mist-
ing up or to demist it faster if it does mist up.
The system can be switched on manually or
automatically.
Manual activation
●
Press the
button of the Climatronic
control panel.
●
Press the
function button to switch the
windscreen heating on or off.
