Air conditioning
CAUTION
Do not smoke when air recirculation is
swit
ched on in vehicles with an air condi-
tioner. The smoke taken in could lie on the
cooling system vaporiser and on the acti-
vated charcoal cartridge of the dust and
pollen filter, leading to a permanently un-
pleasant smell.
Note
●
Climatronic: air r
ecirculation mode is ac-
tivated to prevent exhaust gas or unpleas-
ant odours from entering the vehicle interi-
or when it is in reverse and while the auto-
matic windscreen wiper is working.
●
When the outside temperature is very
high, selecting manual air recirculation
mode for a short period refreshes the vehi-
cle interior more quickly.
