air is directed to the windshield, side win-
dows, upper body, and into the floor area.
The following features are switched on au-
tomatically with the AUTO program:
– The air conditioning, refer to page 203.
To switch off the program: press the button

Intensity
With the AUTO program activated, the au-
tomatic intensity control can be changed.

Recirculated-air mode
Concept
You may react to unpleasant odors or pollu-
tants in the immediate environment by tem-
porarily suspending the supply of outside
air. The system then recirculates the air
flow within the vehicle.
Operation
Press button repeatedly to select an
operating mode:
– LED off: outside air flows in continu-
ously.
– LED on, recirculated-air mode: the sup-
ply of outside air into the vehicle is per-
manently blocked.
To prevent window condensation, recircu-
lated-air mode switches off automatically af-
ter a certain amount of time, depending on
the external temperature.
With constant recirculated-air mode, the air
quality in the car's interior deteriorates and
the fogging of the windows increases.
If the windows fog over, switch off recircu-
lated-air mode and increase the air flow, if
needed.
Controlling the air flow manually
Concept

justed manually.
General information

program first.
Operation

sired air flow.
