Principle  
You may react to unpleasant odors or pollu-  
tants in the immediate environment by tempo-

for the driver's side are transferred to the pas-  
senger's side and to the rear.  
In automatic recirculated-air control mode, out-  
side air is fed in or the interior air recirculated  
depending on the outside air quality.  
For improved comfort, when the SYNC pro-  
gram is deactivated, the following settings are  
adjusted automatically in the automatic pro-

When the air recirculation is turned off, outside  
air is directed into the interior.  
If the front passenger seat is unoccupied,  
the settings for the driver's side are applied

recirculation.  
If the seats in the rear are unoccupied, the  
default settings for the rear are applied.

air or the circulated interior air in recirculation  
mode.
