Direct the flow of air to the win‐
dows
, to the upper body area
, or to the knee area and foot‐
well
. Intermediate positions
are possible. In the 6 o'clock posi‐
tion, a small amount of air is also directed to‐
ward the windows to keep them from fogging
over.
Recirculated air mode If the air outside the car has an un‐
pleasant odor or contains pollu‐
tants, shut off the supply to the interior of the
car temporarily. The system then recirculates
the air currently within the vehicle.
The recirculated air mode can also be acti‐
vated/deactivated, refer to page 12, via a but‐
ton on the steering wheel.
Only use recirculated air mode for a lim‐
ited period
If condensation starts to form on the inside
window surfaces during operation in the recir‐
culated air mode, you should switch it off while
also increasing the air flow rate as required.
The recirculated air mode should not be used
continuously for lengthy periods; otherwise,
the quality of the air inside the car will gradually
deteriorate.◀
Air volume Press the corresponding button.
The higher the rate, the more ef‐
fective the heating or cooling will
be.
The air flow rate may be reduced or the blower
may be switched off entirely to save on battery
power.Seite 108ControlsClimate108
