IMPORTANT The air recirculation system makes it pos-
sible to reach the required heating or cooling conditions
faster.
Do not use the air internal recirculation function on
rainy/cold days as it would considerably increase the pos-
sibility of the windows misting up.

DESCRIPTION
The car is equipped with a two-zone climate control sys-
tem which allows you to adjust separately the air tem-
perature on the driver’s and the passenger’s side. The sys-
tem has an AQS function (Air Quality System), which au-
tomatically activates internal air recirculation when the
outside air is polluted (e.g. in traffic queues and tunnels).

words FULL AUTO appear on the display.
During automatic operation it is still possible to adjust the
set temperature and carry out the following operations
manually:
❒adjust fan speed;
❒select air distribution;
❒switch air recirculation and AQS function on/off;
❒switch on the climate control system compressor.REGULATING THE FAN SPEED
