Press A/C again to switch off cooling. The air conditioning system cools and dehumidifies (dries) when outside temperature is above a specific level. Therefore, condensation may form and drip from under the vehicle. If no cooling or drying is required, switch off the cooling system for fuel saving reasons.
Manual air recirculation
Press to activate the air recirculation mode. The LED in the button illuminates to indicate activation.
Press again to deactivate recirculation mode.
Warning
The exchange of fresh air is reduced in air recirculation mode. In operation without cooling, the air humidity increases, so the windows may mist up from inside. The quality of the passenger compartment air deteriorates, which may cause the occupants to feel drowsy.
In warm and very humid ambient air conditions, the windscreen may mist up from outside, when cold air is directed towards it. If windscreen mists up from outside, activate windscreen wiper and deactivate .
