DEMISTING/DEFROSTING
HEATED REAR WINDSCREEN
Press D button ( ( ) to turn the function on/off. The function is au-
tomatically deactivated after 20 minutes.
For versions/markets, where provided, pressing the ( button
also defrost/demist the external rearview mirrors and the heated
spray nozzles (for versions/markets, where provided).
IMPORTANT Do not affix stickers to the inside of the heated rear
windscreen over the heating filaments, to avoid damage that might
cause them to stop working properly.
AIR RECIRCULATION
Press F (v) button so that the LED on the button lights up. It
is advisable to switch air recirculation on while standing in traffic
or in tunnels to prevent the introduction of polluted air.
Do not use the function for a long time, particularly if there are many
passengers on board, to prevent the windows from misting up.
IMPORTANT The air recirculation system makes it possible to reach
the required heating or cooling conditions faster. Do not use the air
recirculation function on rainy/cold days as it would considerably
increase the possibility of the windows misting.

air distribution settings in the passenger compartment:
x
Air flow to the windscreen and front side window vents to
demist/defrost them.

ution allows the passenger compartment to be warmed up
quickly.

dashboard vents, rear vent and windscreen and front side win-
dow demisting/defrosting vents.
r
Air flow distribution to centre/side dashboard vents (pas-
senger's body).
