It is advisable to switch the internal air recirculation on while
standing in queues or in tunnels to prevent the introduc-
tion of polluted air. However, it is better not to use the
function for long periods, particularly if there are many peo-
ple on board, to prevent the windows from misting inside.
IMPORTANT The inside air recirculation system makes it
possible to reach the required heating or cooling condi-
tions faster. Do not use the air recirculation function on
rainy/cold days as it would considerably increase the pos-
sibility of the windows misting inside.
