•
the air conditioning is automatically engaged
•
recirculation and the air quality system are
automatically disengaged.
NOTE
The noise level increases as the fan is operat-
ing at max.
When the defroster is switched off the climate
control returns to the previous settings.

Air distribution - recirculation
Select recirculation to shut out bad air, exhaust
gases etc. from the passenger compartment, i.e.
no outside air is taken into the car when this
function is activated.
When recirculation is engaged
the orange lamp in the button
illuminates.
IMPORTANT
If the air in the car is recirculated for too long
then there is a risk of misting on the insides
of the windows.
Timer
With the timer function activated the system will
exit manually activated recirculation mode
according to a time that depends on the outside
temperature. This reduces the risk of ice, misting
and bad air.
It is possible to activate/deactivate the function
in the menu system MY CAR. For a description of
the menu system, see MY CAR (p. 111).
NOTE
When max. defroster is selected, recirculation
is always deactivated.
