Air distribution – recirculation Recirculation can be used to shut out exhaust fumes, smoke, etc., from the passenger com-partment.
The air in the passenger com- partment is then recirculated,i.e., no air from outside the caris taken into the car when thisfunction is activated. The indi-cator light in the button will illu-minate when recirculation is
selected. If the air in the car recirculates for too long, there is a risk of condensation forming on the insidesof the windows, especially in winter.
TimerThe timer function minimizes the risk of fogging, or stale air when the recirculation function isselected by automatically switching off the func-tion after a certain length of time, depending onthe ambient temperature. Activate/deactivate the function under
Climate settingsRecirculation timer. See My Car – introduction
(p. 77) for a description of the menu system.
NOTE
When Defroster is selected, recirculation is always deactivated.
