Heating, ventilating and
cooling
Foul air can quickly cause driver fatigue and reduce
the driver's ability to concentrate, which could lead
to collisions, accidents and serious injuries.
•
Never use the air recirculation for a long
period of time, as no outside air enters the
passenger compartment in the meantime.
•
Use the air recirculation only for a short time.
Otherwise, the windows can fog up very
quickly and make it difficult for the air
recirculation system to
visibility seriously.
•
Switch off the air recirculation when it is not
needed.
