It is advisable to switch internal air recir-
culation on while standing in queues or in
tunnels to prevent the introduction of pol-
luted air. Do not use the function for a
long time, particularly if there are many
occupants on board, to prevent the win-
dows from misting up.
IMPORTANT The 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.
