Pressing button
Tturns on this func-
tion which is shown by the turning on of
the led on the button. This function is par-
ticularly useful when the outside air is
heavily polluted (in a traffic jam, tunnel,
etc.). However, it is better not to use it
for long periods, especially if there are sev-
eral people in the car.
IMPORTANT The inside air recirculation
system makes it possible to reach the re-
quired “heating” or “cooling” conditions
faster. Do not use the air recirculation
function on rainy/cold days as it would
considerably increase the possibility of the
windows misting inside.
