misting and bad air (if recirculation is selected).
See page 82, for activating/deactivating the
function. When the Defroster (3) program is
selected, recirculation is deactivated.

Used to quickly remove mist-
ing and ice from the wind-
screen and side windows. Air
flows to the windows at high
fan speed. The light in the
defroster button illuminates
when the function is active.
The following also takes place when the
defroster function is activated in order to pro-
vide maximum dehumidification in the passen-
ger compartment:
•
the air conditioning (AC) is automatically
switched on (can be switched off with the
AC button (5)
•
recirculation is automatically disengaged.
When the defroster is switched off the climate
control returns to the previous settings.
4. Air distribution
The airflow can be distributed
to the windows, dashboard
vents or floor by pressing the
air distribution buttons.
A symbol on the display
above the climate control
panel and an illuminated light in the relevant
button indicate which function has been
selected.
Refer to the table on page 98.
