for the driver's side are transferred to the pas-  
senger's side and to the rear.  
In automatic recirculated-air control mode, out-

For improved comfort, when the SYNC pro-  
gram is deactivated, the following settings are  
adjusted automatically in the automatic pro-  
gram depending on seat occupancy:  
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  
to the front passenger side.  
General information  
If there is window condensation, turn off the air  
recirculation.  
If the seats in the rear are unoccupied, the  
default settings for the rear are applied.  
The interior filter cleans the incoming fresh  
air or the circulated interior air in recirculation  
mode.  
When the seat is occupied again, the most re-
