> Left indicator lamp on – AUC mode:

the system recognizes pollutants in
the outside air and blocks the flow of
air when necessary. The system then
recirculates the air currently within
the vehicle. Depending on the air
quality, the automatic system then
switches back and forth between
outside air supply and recirculation of
the air within the vehicle

> Right indicator lamp on: the flow of

external air into the vehicle is perma-
nently blocked. The system then

recirculates the air currently within
the vehicle.

If the windows should fog over in
the recirculated-air mode, switch

this mode off and increase the air sup-
ply as required.

utes after starting the engine when out-
side temperatures are below approx.
