To activate the automatic recirculation mode, press the Symbol key re-
peatedly until the indicator light is lit on the right side of the button.
Climatronic has an air quality sensor for the detection of the pollutant concen-
tration in the sucked-in air.
If a considerable increase in concentration of pollutants is recognised by the
air quality sensor, recirculated air mode will temporarily be switched on.
If the concentration of pollutants decreases to the normal level, the air distri-
bution control is automatically switched off so that fresh air can be guided into
the vehicle interior.
If the air quality sensor does not automatically switch on the recirculated air
mode in the event of an unpleasant odour, you can switch it on yourself by
pressing the button
. The indicator light lights up in the button on the left
side.
To turn off the air recirculation or to deactivate the automatic air recircula-
tions, press the
button of press the
symbol button repeatedly until
the warning lights in the button go out.
WARNING
The recirculation system cannot be switched on for a longer period of time,
because there is no supply of fresh air from the outside. “Stale air” may re-
sult in fatigue in the driver and occupants, 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.
CAUTION
We recommend not smoking in the vehicle when the recirculating air operation
is switched on. The smoke sucked from inside the vehicle is deposited on the
evaporator of the air conditioner. This produces a permanent odour when the
air conditioning system is operating which can only be eliminated through con-
siderable effort and expense (replacement of compressor).
Note
The automatic air distribution control operates only if the outside temperature
is higher than approx. 2 °C.
