trol is switched off:
̈ Turn air distribution control 1 and 7
to a or Y ( ୴ page 216) or

Maximum cooling MAX COOL
If the left and right air distribution controls
as well as the airflow volume control are
set to
U and there is a high need for
cooling, the display “ MAX COOL ” appears in
the front and rear display ( ୴ page 229).
This provides the fastest possible cooling
of the vehicle interior (when windows and
tilt/sliding sunroof* or tilt/sliding panel*
are closed).
Air recirculation mode
Switch to air recirculation mode to prevent
unpleasant odors from entering the vehicle
from the outside (e.g. before driving
through a tunnel). This setting cuts off the
intake of outside air and recirculates the
air in the passenger compartment.
i
Keep this setting selected only until the
windshield is clear again.
Warning!
G
Fogged windows impair visibility, endanger-
ing you and others. If the windows begin to
fog on the inside, switching off the air
recirculation mode immediately should clear
interior window fogging. If interior window
fogging persists, make sure the air
conditioning ( ୴ page 227) is activated, or
press button P or 0.
