RAPID DEMISTING/DEFROST-
ING
The climate system is very useful for
accelerating the demisting, because it
dehumidifies the air. It is sufficient to
adjust the controls for the demisting
operation and activate the climate
control system, pressing the button √
.
Windscreen and side windows
1)
Air temperature knob: pointer in
the red sector (fully turned to the
right) on cold days or in the blue sec-
tor (fully turned to the left) on hot
days.
2)Fan knob: pointer at maximum
speed.
3)Air distribution knob: pointer at
-.
4)Air recirculation switched off,
pointer at -
U.
When the windscreen and the win-
dows have been demisted adjust the
controls to keep the windows as clear
as possible.
Rear window
Press the button
(.
As soon as the rear window is
demisted, we suggest switching off the
device.
VENTILATION
1)
Central and side vents: fully open.
2) Air temperature knob: pointer in
the blue sector.
3) Fan knob: pointer set at the speed
required.
4) Air distribution knob: pointer at
O.
5)Air recirculation pointer: at -
U, equal to air intake from outside.
RECIRCULATION
When the pointer is at T, only in-
ternal air recirculation is activated.
IMPORTANTIn conditions of very
high external air temperature, the re-
circulation operation accelerates the
air cooling. Then, this function is par-
ticularly useful when the outside air
is heavily polluted (in a traffic jam, tun-
nel, etc.). You are advised against us-
ing this function for long periods how-
ever, especially if there are a lot of
people in the car.
IMPORTANTDo not use the re-
circulation function during cold/wet
weather as this will increase the like-
lihood of the windows misting up.
