Heating and air conditioning system110
• You should not leave recirculated air mode on over a longer
period of time. “Stale air” may result 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 recircu-
lated air mode off as soon as the windows begin misting up.
Note
We recommend that you do not smoke in the vehicle when the recircu-
lating air mode is operating since the smoke which is drawn at the evap-
orator from the interior of the vehicle forms deposits in the evaporator of
the air conditioning system. This produces a permanent odour when the
air conditioning system is operating which can only be eliminated through
considerable effort and expense (replacement of compressor).
