Automatic recirculated-air control
AUC/Recirculated-air mode

You can respond to unpleasant odors or pollut-
ants in the immediate environment by tempo-
rarily suspending the supply of outside air. The
system then recirculates the air currently within
the vehicle.

Press the button repeatedly to
select an operating mode:

LED off: outside air flows in continuously.

Left-hand LED on, AUC mode: a sensor
detects pollutants in the outside air and
controls the shut-off automatically.

Right-hand LED on, recirculated-air mode:
the supply of outside air is permanently
shut off. If the windows fog over, switch off
recirculated-air mode and increase the air
volume, if necessary. Make sure that air can
flow onto the windshield.

used over an extended period of time;

otherwise, the air quality inside the car will dete-
riorate continuously.
