Timer
The timer function reduces the risk of icing,
misting and bad air (if recirculation is
selected). See page 64, for how to activate/
deactivate the function. When the
Defroster (3) program is selected, recircula-
tion is deactivated.
3. Defroster
Used to quickly remove
misting and ice from the
windscreen and side win-
dows. Air flows to the win-
dows 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 pas-
senger 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 function is switched off
the climate control system returns to the pre-
vious settings.
4. Air distribution
The airflow can be distrib-
uted to the windows, dash-
board vents or floor by
pressing the air distribution
buttons.
A symbol on the display
above the climate control panel and an illumi-
nated light in the relevant button indicate
which function has been selected.
Refer to the table on page 76.

(can be switched off with the AC button).

Heating is used to quickly
remove misting and ice from
the rear window and door
mirrors. Press the button
once to start simultaneous
rear window and rearview
mirror defrosting. The function is active if one
lamp is illuminated in the button.
The function is switched off manually or
automatically. Switch off manually with one
press on the button. Automatic switching off
disconnects the rear window and door mir-
rors after 12-20 minutes depending on out-
side temperature.
During cold weather the defrosting also con-
tinues after 20 minutes in order to keep the
rear window and door mirrors free of ice and

mist. The intensity of the defrosting can be
adapted to the outside temperature. This
function must be switched off manually.
