If the knob is turned counterclockwise and the indicator light in the display goes out, the blower and the air conditioning are switched off. The display shows the blower symbol and OFF. 2. Recirculation This function can be used to shut out exhaust fumes, smoke, etc from the passenger compartment. The air in the passenger compartment is then recirculated, i.e. no air from outside the car is taken into the car when this function is activated. Recirculation (together with the air conditioning system) cools the passenger compartment more quickly in very warm weather. If the air in the car recirculates for too long, there is a risk of condensation forming on the insides of the windows, especially in winter. Timer The timer function minimizes the risk of misting, or stale air when the recirculation function is selected. See page 57 for information on setting the recirculation timer. Recirculation is always disengaged when you select Defroster (3). 3. Defroster Directs airflow to the windshield and side windows and increases blower speed. Air flows to the windows at high blower speed. The LED in the defroster button lights up when this function is activated. The air conditioning system is controlled to provide maximum air dehumidification.
