When the max demisting/defrosting func-
tion is on, the led next to the rearscreen
heating button (5) - will turn on.
IMPORTANT If the engine is not hot
enough, the function does not immediate-
ly engage the pre-established fan speed,
to restrict the inlet of air to the passenger
compartment that is not warm enough to
demist the windows.
After demisting/defrosting, simply use
the controls to maintain the optimum con-
ditions of vision and comfort.
IMPORTANT The hotter the engine
the more effective defrosting will be.
IMPORTANT In cases of heavy damp
and/or rain and/or big differences in tem-
perature between inside the car and out-
side, it is advisable to proceed as follows
to demist the windows:
- air re-circulation off, led next to button
(4) v off;

- pointer of knob (3) on symbol ≤ with
the possibility of passing to position y if
more misting is noted;
