Air conditioning
Note
●
Climatronic: air recirculation mode is ac-
tivated to prevent exhaust gas or unpleas-
ant odours from entering the vehicle interi-
or when it is in reverse and while the
automatic windscreen wiper is working.
●
When the outside temperature is very
high, selecting manual air recirculation
mode for a short period refreshes the vehi-
cle interior more quickly.
