Risk of accident
Clear all windows of ice or snow before setting
off. Otherwise, impaired visibility could
endanger you and others.
i The rear window heating has ahigh cur-
rent draw. You should therefore switch it
off as soon as the window is clear, as it only
switches off automatically after several
minutes.

You can deactivate the flow of fresh air if
unpleasant odours are enteringt he vehicle
from outside. The air already inside the vehi-
cle will then be recirculated. G
Risk of accident
Only switch over to air-recirculation mode
briefly at low outside temperatures. Other-
wise, the windows could mist up, thus impair-
ing visibility and endangering yourself and
others. This may prevent you from observing
the traffic conditions, thereby causing an
accident.
