Air recirculation is carried out according to two possible
operating modes:
❒ permanently off (air recirculation always off with intro-
duction of external air), indicated by the LED on but-
ton T being off;
❒ permanently on (air recirculation always on), signalled
by the LED on button T being lit up.

sible to reach the required heating or cooling conditions
faster. It is not advisable to switch the air recirculation

pecially if the climate control is not turned on. It is advis-
able to switch the internal air internal recirculation on
while standing in queues or in tunnels to prevent the in-
troduction of polluted air. Do not use the function for
a long time, particularly if there are many passengers on
board, to prevent the windows from misting up.
