Rear window and door mirror
defrosters
Use this button to quickly
remove misting and ice from
the rear window and door
mirrors, see page 47 for
further information about
this function.
Recirculation
Recirculation can be used to
shut out bad air, exhaust,
etc. from the passenger
compartment. The air in the
passenger compartment is
then recirculated, i.e. no air
from outside the car is taken into the car
when this function is activated. Recirculation
(together with the air conditioning system)
cools the passenger compartment more
quickly in a warm climate.
If you allow the air in the car to recirculate,
there is a risk of icing and misting, especially
in winter. The timer function minimises the
risk of ice, misting and bad air.
Activate the function as follows:
– Press for more than 3 seconds.
The LED flashes for 5 seconds. The air
recirculates in the car for 3–12 minutes
depending on the outside temperature.
– The timer function is activated each time
you press .
To switch off the timer function:
– Press again for more than
3 seconds. The LED lights for 5 seconds
to confirm your selection.
Air distribution
Use the air distribution
control positions (marked
with dots) between the
different symbols to fine-
tune air distribution for
maximum comfort.
Defroster
The defroster on the air distribution
control is used to quickly remove misting and
ice from the windscreen and side windows.
Air flows to the windows at high speed.
When the function is selected the following
also takes place to provide maximum
dehumidification of the air in the passenger
compartment:
• the air conditioning (A/C) is automatically
engaged (can be switched off with the
A/C button).
• recirculation is automatically disengaged.
When the defroster is switched off the
climate control returns to the previous
settings.
