pg. 51 Electronic Climate Control (ECC) with Interior Air Quality syst\
em (option)
Interior Air Quality system (option)
Some cars are equipped with a Multifilter and Air quality sensor. The fi\
lter separates gases and particles,
thereby reducing the amounts of odors and contaminants entering the car.\
The Air quality sensor detects
increased levels of contaminants in the outside air. When the Air qualit\
y sensor detects contaminated
outside air, the air intake closes and the air inside the passenger comp\
artment is recirculated, i.e. no
outside air enters the car. The filter also cleans recirculated passenge\
r compartment air. When the Air
quality sensor is activated, the LED AUT comes on in

Operation:
Press to activate the Air quality sensor (normal setting).
Or select one of three functions by pressing

l The filter should be changed at the intervals listed in the Warranty and\
Service Records Information
booklet. However, if the car is used in a severely contaminated environm\
ent, it may be necessary to
change the filter more frequently.

LED in the switch will light up
to indicate that the heating function is engaged. See
page 38 for additional information on this function.
CAUTION:
Never use ice scrapers made of metal as they can easily scratch the mirr\
or surface.
Recirculation
Recirculation can be used to shut out stale air, exhaust, etc. from the \
passenger compartment. The air in
the passenger compartment is then recirculated, i. e. no air from outsid\
e the car is taken into the car
when this function is activated. Recirculation (together with the air c\
onditioning system) cools the
passenger compartment more quickly in warm weather.
If you allow the air in the car to recirculate, there is a risk of icing\
and fogging, especially in winter. The
timer function minimizes the risk of ice, misting and stale air.
Activate the timer function as follows:
