Air distribution - recirculation
Select recirculation to shut out bad air, exhaust gases etc. from the passenger com-partment, i.e. no outside air is taken into thecar when this function is activated.When recirculation isengaged the orange lamp inthe button illuminates.
IMPORTANT
If the air in the car recirculates for too long, there is a risk of misting on the insides ofthe windows.
TimerWith the timer function activated the system will exit manually activated recirculation modeaccording to a time that depends on the out-side temperature. This reduces the risk of ice,misting and bad air. It is possible to activate/deactivate the func- tion in the menu system MY CAR. For a
description of the menu system, see MY CAR(p. 103).
NOTE
When max. defroster is selected, recircula- tion is always deactivated.
