deactivated.
This function is not designed to detect

windscreen wash is used or when reverse gear
is engaged.
The function is inactive if the outside temperature
is below 5°C to prevent the risk of misting on the
windscreen and side windows.

Using an interior air quality sensor, this function
detects fine particles (e.g.
cigarette smoke).
Recirculation management of interior air makes
it possible to return to a purified passenger
compartment in just a few minutes, thanks
to the passage of air through the passenger
compartment filter.
