NOTICE
In vehicles with an air conditioning system, do not smoke when the air recirculation mode is switched on. Smoke
can leave a residue on the cooling system evaporator and on the enhanced air filter, producing a lasting unpleasant
odour.
when reversing the vehicle or when the wash and wipe system is being used, the air recirculation mode will
switch on to prevent odours from entering the vehicle interior.
If the outside temperature is very high, the manual air recirculation mode can be activated for a short time to
help cool the vehicle interior more quickly.
