Press the function key ˆ, the key AUTO or the key to switch the function off again. The backlighting in the air conditioning block and the symbol in the display then disappear.


  Warning!
In air recirculation mode no fresh air enters the vehicle interior. The windows can also mist up very quickly. Therefore, you should never leave air recirculation mode switched on for longer periods of time, as this increases the risk of an accident.


  Note
Your vehicle is equipped with an air quality sensor which registers the penetration of air containing hazardous material into the interior of the vehicle. When the function auto recirculation is activated, recirculation is automatically switched on if the outside air contains elevated levels of hazardous substances. Therefore we recommend that you use function key ˆ only to prevent unpleasant odours from entering the vehicle interior.
