INTERNAL AIR RECIRCULATION
ACTIVATION
Press button
: when the function is on, the
button LED lights up. It is advisable to switch the
internal air recirculation on while standing in
queues or in tunnels to prevent the introduction of
polluted air. However, it is better not to use the
function for long periods, particularly if there
are many people on board, to prevent the windows
from misting.
IMPORTANT Internal air recirculation makes it
possible to reach the required heating or cooling
conditions more quickly depending on the mode
selected. Do not use the internal air recirculation
function on rainy/cold days as it would considerably
increase the possibility of the windows misting.ADDITIONAL HEATER
(for versions/markets, where provided)
This device warms up the passenger compartment
more quickly when it is very cold and the engine
coolant temperature is low.
The additional heater comes on automatically when
the engine is started, if knob A is turned to the
last red sector and the fan (knob C) is at least at
the first speed level.
The heater switches off automatically when the
required comfort conditions are achieved.
IMPORTANT The heater will not turn on if the
battery voltage is too low.
