WARNING
Lack of air circulation can lead to sudden driver fatigue and lack of concentration, which can cause collisions, accidents, and serious injuries.
Never use recirculation mode for long periods of time, because this prevents fresh air from entering the passenger compartment.
Only use recirculation mode for a short time. Otherwise, the windows could fog up very quickly and greatly reduce visibility.
Always switch off recirculation mode when it is not necessary.
NOTICE
Do not smoke in the vehicle when recirculation mode is switched on. The smoke can settle on the refrigerant system evaporator and the active combination filter
