Air flows out of the air vents to the upper body  
area. Open the vents.  
In recirculated-air mode, the air conditioning  
turns on automatically to dry the air and pre-  
vent condensation.  
Air recirculation mode  
Depending on vehicle equipment, the air recir-  
culation turns off automatically after some time  
based on the ambient conditions in order to  
prevent condensation.  
Principle  
You may react to unpleasant odors or pollu-  
tants in the immediate environment by tempo-  
rarily suspending the supply of outside air. The  
system then recirculates the interior air.  
SYNC program  
In automatic recirculated-air control mode, out-  
side air is fed in or the interior air recirculated  
depending on the outside air quality.  
Principle  
If SYNC program is activated, the settings on  
the driver's side are transfered to the passeng-  
er's side and to the rear.  
When the air recirculation is turned off, outside  
air is directed into the interior.  
If the SYNC program is deactivated, the follow-  
ing settings are made automatically in the au-  
tomatic program depending on the seat occu-  
pancy:  
General information

recirculation.  
If the front passenger's seat is not occu-  
pied, the settings on the driver's side are  
applied.  
The interior filter cleans the incoming fresh  
air or the circulated interior air in recirculation  
mode.  
If the seats in the rear are unoccupied, the  
default settings are applied.
