RECIRCULATION

With slider on

T only the inside air is circulated.

IMPORTANT This function is particularly useful when
the outside air is heavily polluted (in a traffic jam,
tunnel, etc.) However, it is better not to use it for long
periods, especially if there are several people in the
car.

IMPORTANT Do not use the air recirculation function
on rainy/cold days as it would considerably increase
the possibility of the windows misting inside.
