Switching cooling function on and off
Air is cooled and dried when the
cooling function is switched on,
then reheated to suit the tempera-
ture setting. Depending on weather conditions,
the windscreen may fog over momentarily
when the engine is started.
The cooling function is switched on automati-
cally in the AUTO program. The interior can
only be cooled when the engine is running.
Recirculated-air mode
If the air outside the car has an
unpleasant odour or contains pol-
lutants, the supply to the interior of
the car can be shut off temporarily. The air
inside the car is then recirculated.
If the windows fog over in the recircu-
lated-air mode, switch it off and, if neces-
sary, increase the air volume.
The recirculated-air mode should not be used
continuously for lengthy periods, as the quality
of the air inside the car will otherwise gradually
deteriorate.
