Switching air conditioning on/off
The air conditioning cools and
dehumidifies the incoming air
before reheating it according to the
temperature setting. This function
is only available while the engine is running.
The air conditioning helps prevent condensa-
tion on the windows or removes it quickly.
The cooling effect can be intensified by activat-
ing recirculated air mode.
Depending on the weather, the windshield may
fog over briefly when the engine is started.
Rear window defroster
The defroster is switched off auto-
matically after a certain time.
Depending on your vehicle's

as an antenna and are not part of the rear win-
dow defroster.
