permanently on (air recirculation always on),
signalled by the LED on button

IMPORTANT The inside air recirculation system makes
it possible to reach the required heating or cooling
conditions faster depending on the mode selected. It is
not advisable to switch the air recirculation on when it
is rainy/cold to prevent the windows from misting up,
especially if the climate control is not turned on. It is
advisable to switch the internal air recirculation on
whilst queueing or in tunnels to prevent the
introduction of polluted air.
Do not use the function for a long time, particularly if
there are several passengers on board, to prevent the
windows from misting up.
