is pressed, the climate control

.
IMPORTANT The engagement of the recirculation
system makes it possible to reach the required
heating/cooling conditions faster. It is, however,
inadvisable to use it on rainy/cold days as it would
considerably increase the possibility of the windows
misting up inside (especially if the climate control
system is off). When the outside temperature is low,
recirculation is forced off (air drawn in from the
outside) to prevent the windows from misting up.
It is inadvisable to use internal air
recirculation when the outside
temperature is low, since the windows
could mist up rapidly.

CLIMATE CONTROL SYSTEM
COMPRESSOR
Press button D to activate/deactivate the
compressor (activation is indicated by the LED on
the button switching on).
The system remembers that the compressor has
been switched off, even after the engine has stopped.
When the compressor is switched off the system
deactivates air recirculation to prevent the windows
from misting up. In this case, if the system is capable
of maintaining the required temperature, the AUTO
LED does not switch off.
The temperatures will instead flash for a few seconds
and the AUTO LED will switch off if the required
temperature cannot be maintained.
