General information
The air recirculation mode helps prevent outside air from entering the vehicle interior
In very hot outside temperatures, temporarily switch to air recirculation in order to cool the vehicle interior faster.
There are different types of air recirculation: | |
---|---|
Manual air recirculation (Manual AC). | |
The left indicator light under the button comes on: manual air recirculation is switched on (Climatronic). | |
The right indicator light under the button comes on: automatic air recirculation is switched on (Climatronic). |

Automatic air recirculation
In the setting, fresh air enters the passenger compartment. If the system detects an increased concentration of pollutants in the outside air, it automatically switches to air recirculation. As soon as the pollutant level is back in the normal range, air recirculation is switched off.
Unpleasant odors cannot be detected by the system.
Air recirculation is not automatically activated under the following outside temperatures and conditions:
Switching automatic air recirculation on and off
Switching on: Press the button repeatedly until the right indicator light under the button comes on.
Switching off: Press the button repeatedly until no indicator light under the button is on.
It is not possible to activate automatic air recirculation when the outside air temperature is colder than about +38 °F (+3 °C).
Temporarily deactivating the automatic air recirculation
Warning
Stale air causes driver fatigue and reduces driver alertness, which can cause accidents, collisions and serious personal injury.Note
Do not smoke when air recirculation is switched on. Smoke drawn into the ventilation system can leave residue on the evaporator and on the dust and pollen active carbon filter, resulting in permanent odors whenever the air conditioner is switched on.Climatronic: When backing up and while the automatic wiper/washer is operating, air recirculation is briefly activated to help keep exhaust fumes from getting into the passenger compartment.
