Operation
Recirculated air mode
In this manual: Operation
~1min read

If there is an unpleasant odor from outside or the air is polluted, you can temporarily shut off the supply of outside air to the cabin. In this case, the air inside the cabin circulates in a closed loop.
Recirculation mode can also be switched on and off with the button on the steering wheel.
If the windows fog up in recirculation mode, switch this mode off and increase the airflow if necessary.
Do not leave recirculation mode on for a long time, otherwise the cabin air quality will deteriorate.◄
