Functions
1. Fan
Reduce the fan speed by
turning the knob.
If the knob is turned
anticlockwise and the fan
indication in the display
goes out, the fan and the air conditioning are
switched off. The display shows the fan
symbol and OFF.
2. Recirculation
Recirculation can be used
to shut out bad air, exhaust,
etc. from the passenger
compartment. The air in the
passenger compartment is
recirculated. No outside air 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 the air in the car recirculates for too long,
there is a risk of misting on the insides of the
windows.
Timer
The timer function minimises the risk of ice,
misting and bad air - when the recirculation
function is selected. See the "Personal
preferences" section page 58 to activate/
deactivate the function. Recirculation is
always disengaged when you select
Defroster (3).
3. Defroster
Defroster is used to quickly
remove misting and ice
from the windscreen and
side windows.
• Air flows to the windows at high fan
speed.
• The LED in the defroster button lights
when this function is activated. The air
conditioning system is controlled so that
there is maximum air dehumidification.
• The air is not recirculated.
