WARNING
A lack of fresh air supply may result in reduced visibility due to fogged up windows and rapid driver fatigue due to stale air. This can result in collisions,
accidents and serious or fatal injuries.
Only use recirculation mode for a short time.
Always switch off recirculation mode as soon as it is not necessary.
NOTICE
Tobacco smoke can settle on the refrigerant system evaporator and the active combination filter and cause permanent odors.
To prevent permanent odors, do not smoke in the vehicle when air recirculation is switched on.
Climatronic: When reverse gear is engaged or while the automatic wash and wipe system is on, recirculation mode switches on automatically so that no odors
will enter the vehicle interior.
