Automatic recirculation
App lies to vehicles : with Del uxe a uto mat ic clima te con

An air quality sensor detects increased con
centrations of pollutants in the outside air
and automatically switches to recirculation
mode.
We recommend that you always keep auto
matic recirculation ON to prevent polluted
outside air from entering the vehicle interior.
If the
air quality sensor located in the climate
control system detects polluted outside air,
the sensor dec ides whether the air pollut io n
can be reduced by the factory-installed pollu
tant filter or w hether it is necessary to switc h
to recirculation. With heavy concentr ations of
po llutants, the climate control system is
switched automatica lly to recirc ulation mode
and the supply of o utside air is blocked . As
soon as the concentration of pollutants in the
outside air drops, fresh air is supplied to the
vehicle interior aga in .
In the event that the windows fog up during
automatic recircu lation, press the~ button
immediately .
Under certain operating conditions, automatic
recirculation is switched off automatically.
When outside temperatures are below about
SO °F (+10 °C), automatic recirculat ion is lim
ited to 30 seconds. When outside tempera
