Recirculation
Recirculation can be used to
shut out bad air, exhaust,
etc. from the passenger
compartment. The air in the
passenger compartment is
then recirculated, i.e. no air
from outside the car is taken
into the car when this
function is activated.
If you allow the air in the car to recirculate,
there is a risk of icing and misting, especially
in winter.
The timer function (cars with Multifilter and air
quality sensor have no timer function)
minimises the risk for ice, misting and bad air.
Activate the function as follows:
– Press for more than 3 seconds.
The LED flashes for 5 seconds. The air
recirculates in the car for 3–12 minutes
depending on the outside temperature.
– The timer function is activated each time
you press .
To switch off the timer function:
