Good visibility
Roller sunblind* in the rear doors
̈ Pull the roller sunblind out using the
hooks.
̈ Attach the hooks at the top.
Rear window defroster
The rear window defroster uses a large
amount of power. To keep the battery
drain to a minimum, switch off the defrost-
er as soon as the rear window is clear. The
defroster is automatically deactivated af-
ter approximately 6 to 17 minutes of oper-
ation depending on the outside
temperature.
Activating
̈ Press button 1 ( ୴ page 204) or
( ୴ page 216) or F ( ୴ page 217) on
the respective climate control panel.
The indicator lamp on the button
comes on.
Deactivating
̈ Press button F or 1 again.
The indicator lamp on the button goes
out.
!
Always guide the sunblind by hand. Do
not let it snap back, as the retractor
could be damaged.
Warning!
G
Any accumulation of snow and ice should be
removed from the rear window before driv-
ing. Visibility could otherwise be impaired,
endangering you and others.
!
If the rear window defroster switches
off too soon and the indicator lamp
starts flashing, this means that too
many electrical consumers are operat-
ing simultaneously and there is insuffi-
cient voltage in the battery. The system
responds automatically by deactivating
the rear window defroster.
As soon as the battery has sufficient
voltage, the rear window defroster au-
tomatically turns itself back on.
