Tap on the air recirculation button.
Air recirculation is activated/deactivated and the button illuminates/extinguishes.
Important
If the air in the car is recirculated for too long then there is a risk of misting on the insides of the windows.
Note
It is not possible to activate air recirculation when the max defroster is activated.
Note
If the air quality sensor detects that the outside air is contaminated, the air intake is closed and air recirculation is activated automatically.
Activating and deactivating time setting for air recirculation
- Air recirculation shuts out bad air, exhaust gases, etc.
- from outside the car by the climate control system reusing the air in the passenger compartment.
- It is possible to set whether the air recirculation timer should be activated/deactivated.
- When the timer is activated, air recirculation is automatically switched off after 20 minutes.
- Open the climate view in the centre display by tapping on the temperature button at the bottom centre of the centre display.
- Press
- Select the desired setting under the Recirculation timer to activate/deactivate the timer for air recirculation.
Activating and deactivating max defroster
Max defroster deactivates auto-regulation of the climate and air recirculation, activates air conditioning and changes the fan level to 5 and the temperature to HI.
Note
Changing the fan level to 5 increases the noise level.
When the max defroster is deactivated, the climate control system returns to the previous settings.
Activating and deactivating max defroster from the centre console
There is a physical button in the centre console for quick access to the max defroster.
For cars with a heated windscreen, the first press of the button activates the heating, and the next press activates the max defroster. A third press deactivates both.
- Cars without heated windscreen:
- Press the button.
- Max defroster is activated/deactivated and the button lights up/goes off.
- The temperatures in the various climate zones are not synchronised while the max defroster is activated.
- Cars with heated windscreen:
- Press the button repeatedly in order to switch between the three levels:
- Activated heated windscreen
- Activated heated windscreen and max defroster
- Deactivated.
- The heated windscreen and max defroster are activated/deactivated and the button illuminates/extinguishes.
Max defroster starts with a certain delay in order to avoid a short increase in fan level if the heated windscreen is deactivated by two quick presses of the button.
Activating and deactivating max defroster from the centre display

Air distribution
Automatic and manual air distribution
With an auto-regulated climate running in the air, distribution takes place automatically. If necessary, the air distribution can be controlled manually.
Adjustable air vents
Some of the air vents in the car are adjustable, which means that you can open/close the vent to aim the airflow.
- With 2-zone climate – four on the instrument panel and one on each of the door pillars between the front and rear doors.
- Addition with 4-zone climate – two at the rear of the tunnel console.
Changing air distribution
- The air distribution can be changed manually if required.
- Open the climate view in the centre display by tapping on the temperature symbol at the bottom centre of the centre display.
- The air distribution buttons in the climate view are located in the centre around the AUTO button, from the top and down:
- Air distribution – windscreen defroster vents
- Air distribution – air vents in the instrument panel and centre console
- Air distribution – air vents in the floor
- Press one or more of the air distribution buttons in order to open/close the corresponding airflow.
- The air distribution is changed and the buttons illuminate/extinguish.
- If all air distribution buttons are deselected in manual mode, the climate control system returns to automatically regulated climate control.
Opening, closing and aiming the air vents
If the car’s outer vents are aimed at the side windows then misting can be eliminated.
If the car’s outer vents are aimed inwards then, in a hot climate, a comfortable environment is obtained in the passenger compartment.
Opening and closing the air vents
- Air vents on the instrument panel:
- Turn the rotary knob in the middle of the air vent to open/close the airflow from the vent.
- The airflow is at maximum when the marking on the knob is in a vertical position.
- Air vents on the door pillars and at the rear of the tunnel console:
- Roll the thumbwheel under the air vent in order to open/close the airflow from the vent.
- The longer the white lines on the thumbwheel that are visible, the higher the airflow.
Aiming the air vents
Move the lever in the middle of the air vent horizontally/vertically to direct the airflow from the vent.
