If the air in the vehicle is recirculated too long, there is a risk of fogging on the inside of the windows.
Recirculation cannot be activated when the max defroster is on.
If the system’s air quality sensors detect contaminants in the outside air, the air intake closes and air circulation activates automatically.
Activating and deactivating the recirculation timer setting
When the recirculation timer is activated, air recirculation will switch off automatically after 20 minutes.
- Tap Settings in the Top view in the center display.
- Tap Climate.

Activating auto climate control
- Tap the symbol in the center of the climate bar to open Climate view in the center display.
- Tap or press and hold AUTOClimate.
- Tap – air recirculation, air conditioning and air distribution are controlled automatically.
- Press and hold – air recirculation, air conditioning and air distribution are controlled automatically. Temperature and blower speed are changed to standard settings: 22 °C (72 °F) and speed 3.
> Auto climate mode is activated and the button lights up.
It is possible to change the temperature and blower speed without deactivating automatic climate control. Automatic climate control is deactivated when the air distribution is changed manually or when the max defroster is activated.
Adjusting air distribution
- Tap the symbol in the center of the climate bar to open Climate view in the center display.
- Air distribution buttons in Climate view.
