Controls A and C » Fig. 95 can be set to any intermediate position.
WARNING
The blower should always be on to prevent the windows from misting up.
Setting
Recommended basic settings of the heating controls.

We recommend that you leave the air outlet vents 3 » Fig. 94 on page 86 in the open position in all operating modes.
Note
If the air distribution is directed only towards the windows, the total amount of air is used to defrost the windows and thus no air will be fed to the footwell.
This can limit the heating comfort.
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

Recirculated air mode is switched off automatically if the air distribution
control

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.
