7. Rear demisting - deicing
Press button 7, with the engine running, to start a rapid deicing or demisting of the rear screen and rear view mirrors. The warning lamp comes on.
This mode automatically stops depending on the out-side temperature. It can be interrupted by a further press on button 7 or by stopping the engine.
In the latter case, demisting will resume when the engine is switched on again.Note: The heated rear screen operates independently of the automatic air conditioning.
This button activates the recirculation of air in the pas-senger compartment.
Press button 8 to switch off the entry of air from outside. The warning lamp comes on.
Whilst retaining the other settings, this position allows the driver at any moment to exclude unpleasant smells or smoke/emissions coming from outside.
This mode should be cancelled as soon as possible to allow the redistribution of air in the passenger compartment.
8. Air recirculation – Entry of air from outside
Remarks:When starting from cold, in order to prevent unwanted cold air, the air fl ow will increase only gradually to its optimum level.
If you enter the vehicle after a fairly prolonged stop and the temperature inside the vehicle is far from comfortable, it serves no purpose to modify the tem-perature that is displayed as an attempt to go imme-diately to the desired comfort level. The system automatically uses all of its power to compensate the temperature gap as quickly as possible.Water arising from the condensation in the air con-ditioning drains out through a hole provided for this purpose ; a pool of water may thus form underneath the vehicle when stationary.
Whatever the time of year, even in cool weather the air conditioning is useful in removing humidity and misting. Avoid driving for too long with air condition-ing deactivated.
