Recirculating air when entering a tunnel

To prevent the inflow of polluted air into the vehicle when passing through a tunnel, the climate control system is operated using the navigation map information and vehicle speed as follows:

To use this feature, it can be enabled from the infotainment system. Select:

Vehicle > Climate > Internal air circulation

  • Tunnel section: The vehicle's windows automatically close, and the climate control system switches to recirculation mode for about 7 seconds before entering a tunnel.

The windows open to the previous position after passing through the tunnel. If the power window switch is operated before the windows open, the windows do not return to the previous position.

Operating conditions

  • The climate control system's fresh mode is selected.

  • The window(s) are open.

The windows close automatically only when your vehicle is applied with the automatic up/down window feature for all seats.

Be careful not to get any body parts caught when the windows are closing.

  • The activation time for the feature may differ because of the time gap between the GPS and vehicle speed.

  • The feature activates until you have passed through continuous tunnels.

  • When entering a tunnel, recirculation mode may cause fogging of the windshield. Use the front windshield defroster button.

  • The feature does not operate in short tunnels.

  • The feature may not activate if the GPS is not working properly.

  • The infotainment system may change after software updates. For more information, refer to the user's manual provided in the infotainment system and the quick reference guide.
