In the event of considerable external
moisture and/or rain and/or large differ-
ences in temperature inside and outside

following preventive window demisting
procedure:

❒ turn air internal recirculation off by
pressing button D so the button LED

❒ turn knob C to - or to ®
if the win-
dows do not demist;

misting up in the presence of high humid-
ity since it dries the air introduced into the
passenger compartment.
