(air outlet vents 3) or the ho
rizontal wheel (air outlet
vents 4) to the position
0.
Change air flow of air outlet vents 3 and 4– In order to change the strength of the ai
r flow, swivel the horizontal lamellas with
the aid of the moveable adjuster.
– In order to change the lateral direction of
the air flow, turn the vertical lamellas with
the aid of the moveable adjuster.
You can set the air supply to the individual
vents with the air distribution control
 page 81, fig. 90
. Air outlet vents
3 and
4 can also be opened or
closed individually.
Warmed, unwarmed or cooled air will flow out of the air outlet vents according to the setting of the regulator of the heating or the air conditioning system* and the atmos- pheric conditions.Recirculated air modeIn recirculated air mode air is sucked out of the interior of the vehicle and then fed back into the interior.Recirculated air mode prevents polluted air outside the vehicle from getting into the vehicle, for example when driving through a
tunnel or when standi
ng in a traffic jam.
Switching recirculated air mode on– Press the button
page 83, fig. 91
, the warning light lights up in the

You should not leave recirculated air mode on over a longer period of time, as “stale” air may result in fatigue in the driver and occupants, divert your atten-tion and also cause the windows to mist up. The risk of having an accident increases. Switch recirculated air mo
de off as soon as the windows begin
misting up.

No warm air will be fed to the footwell. Th
is can lead to restriction of the heating
comfort.
The used air streams out through the air removal openings in the luggage compart-
ment.

If the cooling system has not been switched on for a lengthy period, odours may
be produced at the evaporator because of de
posits. Switch the air conditioning system
on at least once a month for approximately 5 minutes at the highest blower stage - also during the cold season of the year - in order to remove such odours. Also open a window for a short time.

at the same time. The information
in the desired temperature measuring unit appears in the display.
WARNING

For your own safety and that of other road users, ensure that all the
windows are free of ice, snow and mistin
g. Please familiarize yourself about
how to correctly operate th
e heating and ventilation systems, how to demist
and defrost the windows, as well as with the cooling mode.
You should not leave recirculated air mode on over a longer period of time,
as “stale” air may result in fatigue in the driver and occupants, divert your attention and also cause the windows to mist up. The risk of having an accident increases. Switch recirculated air mode off as soon as the windows begin misting up.
Note

If the cooling system has not been switched on for a lengthy period, odours may
be produced at the evaporator because of
deposits. Switch the cooling system on at
least once a month for approximately 5 minut
es at the highest blower stage - also
during the cold se aso n of the y ear - i n o rde
r to avoid such odours. Also open a window
for a short time.
We recommend that you do not smoke in the vehicle when the recirculating air
mode is operating since the smoke which is drawn at the evaporator from the interior of the vehicle forms deposits in the evapor
ator of the air conditioning system. This
produces a permanent odour when the air co
nditioning system is operating which can
only be eliminated through considerable
effort and expense (replacement of
compressor).
The used air streams out through the air
removal openings in the luggage compart-
ment.
