reasons, it is not recommended to switch air recirculation on. – Air distribution to the upper body – Air distribution to footwell – Air distribution to the windscreen and the footwell.
Air recirculation mode

Air recirculation mode on (a lamp lights up in red) prevents strong odours
from the outside air from entering in the vehicle, for example when passing
through a tunnel or in a traffic jam ⇒.
When the outside temperature is low, air recirculation mode improves
heating performance by heating air from the interior instead of cold air from
the outside.
WARNING
•For your safety, the windows should never be fogged up or covered with
snow or ice. This is essential to ensure good visibility. Please familiarise
yourself with the correct operation of the heating and ventilation system,
including the demist/defrost functions for the windows.

– Turn the blower switch to any of of the settings 1-4.
– Set the air distribution control to the air flow configuration desired: (towards the windscreen), (towards the chest),
(towards the footwell) and (towards the windscreen and
footwell areas).Heating
Maximum heat output, which is needed to defrost the windows quickly, is
only available when the engine has reached its operating temperature.
Coolant system
When the air conditioning is switched on, the temperature and the air
humidity go down. This way, if the outside humidity is extreme, the air condi-
tioning prevents the misting of the windows and therefore, comfort is
improved.
If the air conditioning does not work, this may be due to the following
reasons:•The engine is stationary.•The fan blower is switched off.•The outside temperature is below +3 °C.•The cooling system compressor has been temporarily switched off
because of an increased engine coolant temperature.•The air conditioner fuse is faulty.•Another fault in the vehicle. Have the air conditioning checked by a qual-
ified workshop.
Air recirculation
Air recirculation mode prevents fumes or unpleasant smells
from coming from the outside.When air recirculation mode is switched on (button ⇒page 123, fig. 92
with warning lamp) strong odours in the outside air do not enter the vehicle
interior, for example when passing through a tunnel or in a traffic jam.
When the outside temperature is low, air recirculation mode improves
heating performance by heating air from the interior instead of cold air from
the outside.
When the outside temperature is high, air recirculation mode improves
cooling performance by cooling air from the interior instead of warm air from
outside.
For safety reasons, the air recirculation should not be switched on when the
air distribution control is set to the windscreen setting
<.
WARNING
In air recirculation mode, no cold air from the outside enters the vehicle
interior. If the air conditioner is switched off, the windows can quickly mist
over. Therefore, never leave the air recirculation mode switched on for a
long time (risk of accident).
Note
•When engaging reverse gear, the air recirculation is connected automati-
cally to prevent the entrance of exhaust fumes in the vehicle on travelling
backwards. The warning lamp on the button does not light up.•If the temperature control is turned to the coldest setting (blue point) and
the switch is activated, the “Air recirculation” function is automatically
activated in order to cool the vehicle rapidly using less energy; its function
indicator will light.

Automatic mode
In automatic mode air temperature, air flow and distribution
are automatically regulated so that a specified temperature is
attained as quickly as possible, and then maintained.Switching on automatic mode
– Press the button . The indication ⇒page 125, fig. 93
is visible.
–Press keys and ⇒page 125, fig. 93 to adjust the desired
temperature inside the vehicle. We recommend you adjust the
temperature to 22 °C (72 °F).A comfortable interior climate is quickly reached when a temperature of 22 °C
(72 °F) is set in automatic mode. Therefore, we recommend you not to change
this adjustment, except as necessary to suit individual preferences or partic-
ular circumstances. The inside temperature can be set between +18 °C (64 °F)
and +29 °C (86 °F). If a lower or higher temperature is selected, LO or HI are
respectively displayed on the screen. These are approximate temperatures
which may slightly vary depending on the outside conditions.
Climatronic maintains a constant temperature. To do it, it automatically regu-
lates the supplied air temperature, the blower speed and the air distribution.
The system also considers the sunlight radiation, so there is no need for
manual readjustment. Therefore, automatic mode almost always provides
the best comfort for the vehicle occupants throughout the year.
Automatic mode is switched off whenever an adjustment is made using the
buttons for the air distribution, blower or . The temperature continues to
self-regulate.

Driving
130SafetyElectronic Stability Programme (ESP)*
ESP helps make driving safer in certain situations.The Electronic Stability Programme (ESP) contains the electronic differential
lock (EDL) and the traction control system (TCS). The ESP function works
together with the ABS. Both warning lamps will light up if the ESP or ABS
systems are faulty.
The ESP is started automatically when the engine is started.
The ESP is always active, and cannot be switched off. With the ESP switch it is
only possible to switch TCS off.
WARNING
•The Electronic Stability Programme (ESP) cannot defy the laws of
physics. This should be kept in mi nd, particularly on slippery and wet
roads and when towing a trailer.•Always adapt your driving style to suit the condition of the roads and
the traffic situation. Do not let the extra safety afforded by ESP tempt you
into taking any risks when driving, as this can cause accidents.•Please refer to the corresponding warning notes on ESP in ⇒page 153,
“Intelligent technology”.
