Defrost function
The Climatronic defrost function clears fog and ice from the windshield.
The air is dehumidified and the blower is set to a higher speed.
The air conditioning system's defrost function clears the windshield of fog and ice.
The air must be dehumidified when the defrost function is switched on. Therefore when the defrost function is switched on,
you cannot switch air recirculation on or cooling mode off.
Air recirculation
No fresh air will enter the vehicle interior when recirculation mode is switched on ⇒
.
Switch air recirculation on and off in the Air conditioner menu or climate control bar.
When does recirculation mode switch off?
Recirculation mode will switch off in the following situations:
If the defrost function is switched on.
If a sensor detects that the door windows could fog up.
WARNING
A lack of fresh air supply may result in reduced visibility due to fogged up windows and rapid driver fatigue due to stale air.
This can result in collisions, accidents and serious or fatal injuries.
Only use recirculation mode for a short time.
Always switch off recirculation mode as soon as it is not necessary.
NOTICE
Tobacco smoke can settle on the refrigerant system evaporator and the active combination filter and cause permanent
odors.
To prevent permanent odors, do not smoke in the vehicle when air recirculation is switched on.
Climatronic: When reverse gear is engaged or while the automatic wash and wipe system is on, recirculation mode
switches on automatically so that no odors will enter the vehicle interior.
Manual air conditioning system: At very high outside temperatures, air recirculation helps to briefly cool down the vehicle
interior faster.
