RECIRCULATION
Set knob F-fig. 64 to Ú.
This function is particularly useful when
the outside air is heavily polluted (in a traf-
fic jam, tunnel, etc.). However, it is bet-
ter not to use it for long periods, espe-
cially if there are several people in the car
to prevent window steaming up.
IMPORTANT The inside air recirculation
system makes it possible to reach the re-
quired “heating” or “cooling” conditions
faster. Do not use the air recirculation
function on rainy/cold days as it would
considerably increase the possibility of the
windows misting inside.
QUICK HEATING
Proceed as follows:
❒ close all dashboard vents;
❒ turn knob B-fig. 64 to the red sector;
❒ turn knob A to 4 -;
