Recirculated air mode
Recirculated air mode prevents polluted air from outside the vehicle getting into the vehicle, for example when driving through a tunnel or when standing in a traffic jam.
Switching on/off
The indicator light in the button lights up.
The indicator light in the button goes out.
Recirculated air mode is switched off automatically if the air distribution control C » Fig. 96 on page 89 is turned to the position.
Recirculated air mode can be switched on again from this setting by pressing the button again.
WARNING
Never leave recirculated air mode on over a longer period, as “stale air” can cause fatigue in the driver and the passengers, reduce attention levels and also cause the windows to mist up. The risk of having an accident increases.
Switch off recirculated air mode as soon as the windows start to mist up.
