Climate control

Defroster

Used to quickly remove

misting and ice from the

windscreen and side win-

dows. Air flows to the win-

dows at high fan speed. The

light in the defroster button

illuminates when the function is active.

The following also takes place in order to

provide maximum dehumidification in the

passenger compartment:

• the air conditioning is automatically

engaged

• recirculation is automatically disengaged.

The air conditioning can be disengaged man-

ually using the AC button.

When the defroster function is switched off

the climate control system returns to the pre-

vious settings.

Recirculation/Air quality system

Recirculation

When recirculation is

engaged the right-hand

orange light in the button

illuminates. The function is

selected to shut out bad air,

exhaust gases etc. from the

passenger compartment. The air in the pas-

senger compartment is recirculated, i.e. no

outside air is taken into the car when this

function is activated. If the air in the car recir-

culates for too long, there is a risk of misting

on the insides of the windows.

Timer

With the timer function activated the system

will exit manually activated recirculation

mode according to a time that depends on

the outside temperature. This reduces the

risk of ice, misting and bad air. Activate/

deactivate the function under

Climate con-

trol settings Recirculation timer

. For a

description of the menu system, see

page 102.

Air quality system*

The air quality system sepa-

rates gases and particles to

reduce the levels of odours

and pollution in the passen-

ger compartment. If the out-

side air is contaminated then

the air intake is closed and the air is recircu-

lated. When the AUTO button is depressed

the air quality sensor is always engaged.

Activating the air quality sensor

Switch between the three

functions by pressing the

button repeatedly.

• The left-hand orange lamp illuminates –

the air quality sensor is disengaged.

• The centre green lamp illuminates – recir-

culation not engaged, providing it is not

required for cooling in hot weather.

• The right-hand orange lamp illuminates –

recirculation is engaged.

NOTE

When Defroster is selected, recirculation is

always deactivated.

NOTE

The air quality sensor should always be

engaged in order to obtain the best air in the

passenger compartment.

Recirculation is limited in cold weather to

avoid misting.

If the insides of the windows start misting

up, disengage the air quality sensor, and

the defroster functions for the windscreen,

the side and the rear windows should also

be used to demist the windows.
