Automatic air recirculation mode of Climatronic
Automatic air recirculation mode supports you within the system limits by temporarily switching the fresh air supply on or off if the
fresh air entering the vehicle is of poor quality. The system cannot detect unpleasant odours.
1. Open the air conditioning menu in the Infotainment system.
2. Switch automatic air recirculation mode on or off with
Automatic recirculation mode.
When does air recirculation mode switch off?
Air recirculation mode switches off in the following situations:
—When the defrost function is switched on.
—If a sensor detects that condensation might form on the windows.
WARNING
A lacking fresh air supply can lead to restricted visibility due to misted-up windows and to fast driver fatigue due to the stale air. This
can lead to collisions and accidents and cause serious or fatal injuries.
● Use air recirculation mode for a short period only.
● Switch off the air recirculation mode as soon as it is no longer required.
NOTICE
Tobacco smoke can leave a residue on the evaporator of the air conditioning system and the enhanced air filter with activated carbon,
producing a lasting unpleasant odour.
● To prevent lasting unpleasant odours, do not smoke in the vehicle when air recirculation mode is switched on.
