Reactivation by turning the fan control clockwise one
click causes the system to resume any manual selec-
tions.
The rear window and door mirror heating is controlled
manually.
Deactivate the heating as soon as the rear window is
clear of ice and misting to avoid imposing a heavy load
on the battery longer than necessary. Note, however,
that heating will deactivate automatically after a set
time, depending on the outside temperature.
The ACC system can be programmed to activate
heating automatically when outside temperature is
below +5 °C and the temperature inside the car is
below +10°C. See page 85.
Turn the fan control to increase fan speed.
If fan speed 0 is selected, the A/C compressor will be
disengaged and the indicator on the AC OFF button
will illuminate.
Recirculation is controlled automatically to optimize
cooling although it can also be switched on and off
manually.
Recirculation does not appreciably change the air
quality but it can be useful to switch it on to avoid
unpleasant smells from entering the cabin.
