Recirculated air mode
In recirculated air mode air is sucked out of the interior of the vehicle
and then fed back into the interior. When the automatic air distribution
control is switched on, an air quality sensor measures the concentration
of pollutants in the drawn-in air.
Recirculated air mode prevents polluted air outside the vehicle from getting into the
vehicle, for example when driving through a tunnel or when standing in a traffic jam. If
a considerable increase in concentration of pollutants is recognized by the air quality
sensor, when the automatic air distribution control is switched on, the air distribution
control will temporarily be switched off. If the concentration of pollutants decreases to
the normal level, the air distribution control is automatically switched off so that fresh
air can be guided into the vehicle interior.
Switching recirculated air mode on
– Press the button repeatedly until the warning light on the left side of the
button lights up.
Switch on automatic air distribution control
– Press the button repeatedly until the warning light on the right side of the
button lights up.
Switch off automatic air distribution control temporarily
– If the air quality sensor does not switch on the air distribution control automatically
when there is a nauseating smell, you can switch it on yourself by pressing the
button *. The warning light lights up in the button on the left side.
Switching recirculated air mode off
– Press the button or press the button repetitively, until the warning
lights in the button go out.
You should not leave recirculated air mode on over a longer period of time, as
“stale” air may result in fatigue in the driver and occupants, divert your atten-
tion and also cause the windows to mist up. The risk of having an accident
increases. Switch recirculated air mode off as soon as the windows begin
misting up.
If the windscreen mists up, press the button page 114, fig. 122. After
the windscreen has been demisted, press the button .
The automatic air distribution control operates only if the outside temperature is
higher than approx. 2°C.
Controlling blower
There are a total of seven blower stages available.
The Climatronic system controls the blower stages automatically in line with the inte-
rior temperature. You can also, however, adapt the blower stages manually to suit your
particular needs.
– Press again the button on the left side (reduce blower speed) or on the right
side (increase blower speed).
If you switch off the blower, the Climatronic is switched off.
The set blower speed is displayed above the button when the respective number
of warning lights come on.
“Stale air” may result in fatigue in the driver and occupants, reduce atten-
tion levels and also cause the windows to mist up. The risk of having an accident
increases.
Do not switch the Climatronic system off for longer than necessary.
Switch the Climatronic system on as soon as the windows mist up.
