Rear window and door mirror
defrosters
Use this button to quickly
remove misting and ice from
the rear window and door
mirrors, see page 47 for fur-
ther information about this
function.
Recirculation
Recirculation can be used
to shut out bad air, ex-
haust, etc. from the passen-
ger compartment. The air in
the passenger compartment
is then recirculated, i.e. no air from outside
the car is taken into the car when this func-
tion is activated. Recirculation (together with
the air conditioning system) cools the pas-
senger compartment more quickly in a warm
climate.
If you allow the air in the car to recirculate,
there is a risk of icing and misting, especially
in winter. The timer function minimises the
risk of ice, misting and bad air.
Activate the function as follows:
– Press for more than 3 seconds.
The LED flashes for 5 seconds. The air
recirculates in the car for 3–12 minutes
depending on the outside temperature.
– The timer function is activated each time
you press .
To switch off the timer function:
– Press again for more than
3 seconds. The LED illuminates for
5 seconds to confirm your selection.
Air distribution
Use the air distribution con-
trol positions (marked with
dots) between the different
symbols to fine-tune air dis-
tribution for maximum com-
fort.
Defroster
The defroster on the air dis-
tribution control is used to
quickly remove misting and
ice from the windscreen and
side windows. Air flows to
the windows at high speed.
When the function is selected the following
also takes place to provide maximum dehu-
midification of the air in the passenger com-
partment:
• the air conditioning (AC) is automatically
engaged (can be switched off with the A/C
button)
• recirculation is automatically disengaged.
When the defroster is switched off, the cli-
mate control returns to the previous settings.
