Operation
Air vents
To ensure proper heating, cooling and venti-
lation in the v
ehicle interior, the air vents must
remain open.
●
Turn the corresponding thumbwheel in the
required direction to open and close the air
vents. When the thumbwheel is in the posi-
tion, the corresponding air vent is closed.
●
Change the air direction using the ventila-
tion grille lever.
There are other additional, non-adjustable air
vents in the dash panel, in the footwells and in
the rear area of the passenger compartment.
Note
Food, medicine and other heat or cold sen-
sitive ob
jects should never be placed in
front of the air outlets as they may be dam-
aged or made unsuitable for use by the air.
Air recirculation
Air recirculation mode prevents the ambient
air fr
om ent
ering the interior.
For safety reasons, air recirculation is switch-
ed off in the following situations:
●
When the button is pressed or the air
distributor is turned to .
●
When a sensor detects that the vehicle's
windows could mist up.
Switching the manual air recirculation
mode on and off
●
Press the button to connect or discon-
nect manual air recirculation.
Climatronic automatic air recirculation
mode
With the automatic air recirculation mode ac-
tivated, the entry of fresh air into the cabin in-
terior is enabled. If the system detects a high
concentration of hazardous substances in the
ambient air, air recirculation mode is switched
on automatically. When the level of impurities
drops to within a normal range, recirculation
mode is switched off.
The system is unable to detect unpleasant
smells.
The air recirculation will not connect auto-
matically in versions without humidity sensor
and in the following external conditions:
●
The outside temperature is lower than +3°C
(+38°F).
●
The cooling system is switched off and the
outside temperature is below +10°C (+50°F).
●
The cooling system is switched off, the out-
side temperature is below +15°C (+59°F) and
the windscreen wipers are switched on.
Air Care Climatronic with allergen filter
The Air Care Climatronic allergen filter can
reduce the amount of harmful substances, in-
cluding allergens, that get inside.
If the Air Care option is switched on, the air
conditioning’s air recirculation mode is maxi-
mised until there is a risk of the windows mist-
ing up due to humidity inside the vehicle and
the outside temperature. The air recirculation
mode is automatically regulated and incor-
porates an automatic setting to prevent the
vehicle occupants suffering from fatigue.
●
Open the air conditioning settings in the in-
fotainment system
›››
page 159.
●
Switch the Air Care function on or off using
active Air Care.
WARNING
Stuffy or used air will increase fatigue and
reduce driv
er concentration possibly re-
sulting in a serious accident.
●
Never leave the fresh air fan turned off or
use the air recirculation for long periods of
time; the air in the vehicle interior will not
be refreshed.
●
If the cooling system is switched off and
air recirculation mode switched on, the
windows can mist over very quickly, con-
siderably limiting visibility.
