Thereforecondensation may form and drip fromunder the vehicle.If no cooling or drying is required,switch the cooling system off to savefuel.NoteIf the climate control is set tomaximal cooling while the ambienttemperature is high, an Autostopmay be inhibited until the requestedtemperature in the passengercompartment has been reached.If the climate control is set tomaximal cooling while the engine isin an Autostop, the engine mayrestart automatically.Stop-start system 3 108.Air recirculation systemOperated with the u button.9 WarningThe exchange of fresh air isreduced in air recirculation mode.In operation without cooling the airhumidity increases, so thewindows may mist up. The qualityof the passenger compartment airdeteriorates, which may cause thevehicle occupants to feel drowsy.Maximum coolingBriefly open the windows so that hotair can disperse quickly.■ Cooling AC on.■ Air recirculation system u on.■ Set air distribution control to M.■ Set temperature control to coldestlevel.■ Set fan speed to highest level.■ Open all air vents.
