Recirculation
Recirculation
When recirculation is
engaged the orange lamp in
the button illuminates. The
function is selected to shut
out bad air, exhaust gases
etc. from the passenger com-
partment. The air in the pas-
senger compartment is recirculated, i.e. no
outside air is taken into the car when this func-
tion is activated.
IMPORTANT
If the air in the car recirculates for too long,
there is a risk of misting on the insides of the
windows.
Timer
With the timer function activated the system
will exit manually activated recirculation mode
according to a time that depends on the out-
side temperature. This reduces the risk of ice,
misting and bad air. Activate/deactivate the
function in the menu system MY CAR under
Settings
Climate settings
Recirculation timer. For a description of the
menu system, see page 145.
NOTE
When max. defroster is selected, recircula-
tion is always deactivated.
Air quality system IAQS*
The air quality system separates gases and
particles to reduce the levels of odours and
pollution in the passenger compartment. If the
outside air is contaminated then the air intake
is closed and the air is recirculated.
Activate/deactivate the function in the menu
system MY CAR under Settings
Climate
settings
Interior air quality system. For a
description of the menu system, see
page 145.
NOTE
The air quality sensor should always be
engaged in order to obtain the best air in the
passenger compartment.
Recirculation is limited in cold weather to
avoid misting.
If the insides of the windows start misting
up, disengage the air quality sensor, and the
defroster functions for the windscreen, the
side and the rear windows should also be
used to demist the windows.
Cars with Eco Start/Stop DRIVe*
With an auto-stopped engine certain equip-
ment has its function temporarily reduced, e.g.
climate control fan speed. For more informa-
tion, see page 122.
