It is advisable to activate air recirculation
during vehicle stops in queues or tunnels
to prevent the introduction of polluted air
from the outside.
Do not use the function for a long time,
particularly if there are many passengers
on board, to prevent the windows from
misting up.
IMPORTANT The internal air recircula-
tion 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.DEMISTING/DEFROSTING OF REAR
