Entry of air in automatic
anti-pollution mode
activated by default, in
automatic comfort regu-
lation
.
Automatic mode uses an air qual-
ity sensor. This analyses the air and
isolates the passenger compartment
from the exterior, as soon as it detects
the presence of pollutants. In this case,
it automatically activates recirculation
of passenger compartment air.
Remark:
this function cannot detect
and therefore protect the passenger
compartment from bad smells not
linked to pollutants. It is not active
when the outside temperature is
below +5°C in order to protect against
the risk of misting.
