Adjusting air volume manually

To be able to manually adjust the air volume,
switch off the AUTO program first.

Press the left side of the button to
reduce the air volume. Press the
right side of the button to increase

it.
The air volume may be reduced or the blower
may be switched off entirely to save on battery
power. The display remains the same.

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.

The recirculated-air mode should not be
used over an extended period of time;

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

Via the button on the steering wheel

You can switch quickly between the recircu-
lated-air mode and the previous mode using a
button

on the steering wheel, refer to page
