Press the button or the MIA
soft-key to turn on the rear window
defroster and the heated outside
mirrors. The LED on the button and
the MIA soft-key will illuminate when
the rear window defroster and the

For any subsequent request after the

the system activates the function
for 5 minutes. The timing described
above is automatically reset and
the defrost/demisting function is
deactivated at each key-off.
CAUTION!
Failure to observe the following
cautions may cause damage to the rear
windows defroster:
• Use care when washing the inside of
the rear window. Do not use abrasive
window cleaners on the interior
surface of the window. Use a soft
cloth and a mild washing solution,
wiping parallel to the heating
elements. Labels can be peeled off
after soaking with warm water.
•
Do not use scrapers, sharp
instruments, or abrasive window
cleaners on the interior surface of the

Keep all objects inside the vehicle at
a safe distance from the window.
11. MAX A/C
By pressing the "MAX A/C" button
or the MIA soft-key, the system
automatically switches to get the
maximum cold air flow in both zones.
12-13 Air flow distribution modes
The airflow distribution mode,
respectively on the driver and on the
passenger zone, can be adjusted so
air comes from the dashboard vents,
vents under the dashboard in direction
of the floor, demist/defrost vents
and vents under the front seats and
adjustable vents at the rear end of the
central console for the rear passengers
only.
The climate control panel features
a single button for each zone: press
it several times to select and set the
required airflow distribution mode.
The airflow mode combinations will
cycle in this order: "Dashboard" → "Bi-
Level" → "Floor" → "Mix" → "Defrost"
→ "Hi-Level" → "Tri-Level". When MIA
are out of the "Comfort" page, each
time the button is pressed, a pop up
Dashboard Instruments and Controls
will appear with the airflow mode
activated.
When in the "Comfort" category, the
MIA displays the relevant soft-keys to
set these modes individually for each
zone.
The arrow on the
in white indicates active status, in grey
indicates inactive status.
Available settings are as follows:
• "Dashboard" mode
Air for each zone flows from four
adjustable vents of the dashboard
and two positioned at the rear end
of the central console. Each of these
vents can be singly adjusted. The air
grids or vanes of the vents can be
moved to adjust air flow direction.
A setting wheel, placed near each
vent, allows to regulate or close the
airflow.
• "Bi-Level" mode
Air for each zone flows from the
dashboard and central console
adjustable vents and from the fixed
floor vents described in "Floor"
mode. A small portion of the
airflow is directed through the
defrost/demist vents to prevent
windows fogging.
