If the air in the car recirculates for too long, there is a risk of condensation forming on the insides of the windows,
especially in winter.
Timer
The timer function minimizes the risk of fogging, or stale air when the recirculation function is selected. See page 52
for information on setting the recirculation timer.
NOTE: Recirculation is always disengaged if the defroster button is engaged to clear ice or condensation from the side
windows.
4. Defroster
Directs airflow to the windshield and side windows and increases blower speed. The LED in the defroster
button lights up when this function is activated. The air conditioning system is controlled to provide maximum air
dehumidification. The air is not recirculated.
5. Airflow controls
Press one of the three buttons in the illustration to activate the selected airflow. A symbol in the display
above the climate control panel and a lit LED in the selected button indicate that the manual function has been
selected. With manually selected airflow both warm and cool air can be selected. See also the table on page 63
.
6. Air conditioning On/Off
The air conditioning system is controlled automatically by the system when the ON LED is lit to maintain
the selected temperature.
When OFF is selected and the OFF LED is lit, the air conditioning system is deactivated. Other functions are still
controlled automatically.
When Defroster (4) is selected, the air conditioning system is activated for maximum dehumidifying.

10. Temperature selector
The temperatures on the driver's and passenger's sides can be set separately using the knob (with the
thermometer in it). The temperature can be set for both sides of the car when the ignition is switched on (both LEDs
will be on), which means that a temperature setting will apply to both sides of the car.

the folded power retractable hard top can be moved up or down slightly to facilitate loading or unloading small objects.
