A/C - ON/OFF

y pressing OFF. When you
select Defroster
, the air conditioning is automatically engaged if the fan is not set to\

Heated rear window/sideview mirrors
This function demists/de-ices the rear window and sideview mirrors. The \
LED in the switch will light up
to indicate that the heating function is engaged. See
page 38 for additional information on this function.
CAUTION:
Never use ice scrapers made of metal as they can easily scratch the mirr\
or surface.
Recirculation
Recirculation can be used to shut out stale air, exhaust, etc. from the \
passenger compartment. The air in
the passenger compartment is then recirculated, i. e. no air from outsid\
e the car is taken into the car
when this function is activated. Recirculation (together with the air c\
onditioning system) cools the
passenger compartment more quickly in warm weather.
If you allow the air in the car to recirculate, there is a risk of icing\
and fogging, especially in winter. The
timer function minimizes the risk of ice, misting and stale air.
Activate the timer function as follows:
