Window demisting
In the event of considerable outside mois-

ferences in temperature inside and out-
side the passenger compartment, perform

dure:
❒ turn air recirculation off by pressing
button G (button led off);
❒ turn knob C to red sector;
❒ turn knob E to 2;
❒ turn knob A to
y
, or to
™
the win-
dows do not demist.
IMPORTANT Climate control system is

ing: therefore, just perform demisting as
previously described and turn the climate
control system on by pressing button B.
HEATED REAR WINDOW AND
DOOR MIRROR DEMISTING/
DEFROSTING
Press button F to start this function.
This function is timed and switches off au-
tomatically after 30 minutes. To cut out
this function press again button
O .
IMPORTANT Do not apply stickers on
the inside of the rear window over the
heating filaments to avoid damage that
might cause it to stop working properly.
FAN SPEED ADJUSTMENT
To ventilate the passenger’s compartment
properly, proceed as follows:
❒ open completely central vents and side
outlets;
❒ turn knob C to the blue sector;
❒ turn knob E to the required speed;
❒ turn air recirculation off by pressing
button G (button led off);
❒ turn knob A to O .
RECIRCULATION
Turn this function on by pressing button
G (button led on).
This function is particularly useful when
the outside air is heavily polluted (in a traf-
fic jam, tunnel, etc.). However, it is bet-
ter not to use it for long periods, espe-
cially if there are several people in the car
to prevent window misting.
IMPORTANT The inside air recirculation
system makes it possible to reach the re-
quired “heating” or “cooling” conditions
faster. Do not use the air recirculation
function on rainy/cold days as it would
considerably increase the possibility of the
windows misting inside.
