tion briefly until the windshield is clear
again.
ROnly use air-recirculation mode briefly,
e.g. if there are unpleasant outside odors
or when in a tunnel. The windows could oth-
erwise fog up, since no fresh air is drawn
into the vehicle in air-recirculation
mode.

Setting the air vents
Important safety notes
GWARNING
Very hot or very cold air can flow from the
air vents. This could result in burns or
frostbite in the immediate vicinity of the
air vents. There is a risk of injury.
Make sure that all vehicle occupants always
maintain a sufficient distance to the air
outlets. If necessary, redirect the airflow
to another area of the vehicle interior.
GWARNING
If you spray cleaning products or disin-
fectant into the ventilation system of the
vehicle, this could ignite. There is a risk
of fire.
Never spray these or any other substances
into the ventilation system. Always have
work on the ventilation system carried out
at a qualified specialist workshop.
In order to ensure the direct flow of fresh air
through the air vents into the vehicle inte-
rior, please observe the following notes:
Rkeep the air inlet between the service
cover and the windshield free of blockages,
such as ice, snow or leaves.
Rnever cover the air vents or air intake
grilles in the vehicle interior.
iFor optimum climate control in the vehi-
cle, open the air vents fully.
