General notes

There are different types of air recirculation, depending on the level of equipment:
	Air recirculation mode (heating and fresh air system, air conditioning system (manual)).
	Air recirculation mode (Climatronic).

The air recirculation mode prevents outside air from entering the vehicle.

If the outside temperature is very high, the air recirculation mode should be selected for a short time in order to cool the vehicle interior more quickly.

For safety reasons, the air recirculation mode will switch off if the button is pressed or if the air distribution regulator is switched to .

Switching air recirculation mode for the air conditioning system (manual) or the heating and fresh air system on and off

Switching on: press the button repeatedly until the indicator lamp in the button lights up.

Switching off: press the button repeatedly until the indicator lamp in the button is no longer lit up.

Switching air recirculation mode on and off for Climatronic

Switching on: press the button repeatedly until the symbol in the display field lights up.

Switching off: press the button repeatedly until the symbol in the display field is no longer lit up.

WARNING

Stale air can quickly make the driver tired and affect their concentration, which in turn can cause collisions, accidents and serious injuries.

Never use the air recirculation mode for an extended period as no fresh air will enter the vehicle interior.

If the cooling system is switched off, the windows can mist up very quickly in air recirculation mode and reduce visibility considerably.

Always switch off the air recirculation mode when it is not required.

NOTICE

In vehicles with an air conditioning system, do not smoke when the air recirculation mode is switched on. The smoke drawn into the cooling system can leave a residue on the evaporator and the dust and pollen filter (Climatronic with activated charcoal) producing a permanent, unpleasant odour.

Climatronic: when reverse gear is selected, air recirculation mode is switched on briefly to prevent exhaust fumes from entering the vehicle interior.
