This function is particularly 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 several people in the car to
prevent window steaming up.
IMPORTANT The inside air recirculation system
makes it possible to reach the required “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.
