Automatic
recirculated-air
control/
recirculated-air
mode
Concept
The automatic recirculated-air control AUC de~
tects odors or pollutants in the outside air. The outside air supply is shut off and the interior air
is recirculated.
General
information
If the system is activated, a sensor detects pol~
lutants in the outside air and controls the shut-
off automatically.
If the system is deactivated, outside air contin~ uously flows into the vehicle's interior.
With constant recirculated-air mode, the air
quality in the vehicle's interior deteriorates and
the fogging of the windows increases.
You may react to unpleasant odors or pollu~
tants in the immediate environment by tempo~
rarily suspending the supply of outside air. The
system then recirculates the air currently within
the vehicle.
