Recirculation should not be used for more than 15 minutes. If your windows begin to fog or mist, make sure that the recirculation function is switched off.

When the air quality sensor detects contaminated outside air, the air intake closes and the air inside the passenger compartment is recirculated, i. e. no outside air enters the car.
