NOTE
•
Triangular areas at the far sides of the
windshield are not heated electrically
and will take slightly longer to
defrost/de-ice.
•
The heated windshield may affect the
performance/range of e.g., transpond-
ers used to automatically pay highway
tolls or other communication equip-
ment.
The following occurs when the defroster/
04
windshield heating functions have been acti-
vated:
•
Blower speed increases automatically
and the air conditioning (p. 125) will
switch on (if not already on and if the pas-
senger compartment blower is not turned
off) to dehumidify the air in the passenger
compartment. Air conditioning can be
switched off by pressing the AC button.
•
Recirculation (p. 127) will not function
while defrost is engaged.
The climate system will return to its previous
settings when the defroster/windshield heat-
ing function is switched off.
See also Heated windshield*, rear window
and door mirror defrosters (p. 98) for addi-
tional information.
