tomatically deactivated after 20 minutes.
For versions/markets, where provided, pressing the
(button

windscreen over the heating filaments, to avoid damage that might
cause them to stop working properly.
AIR RECIRCULATION
Press F (v) button so that the LED on the button lights up. It
is advisable to switch air recirculation on while standing in traffic
or in tunnels to prevent the introduction of polluted air.
Do not use the function for a long time, particularly if there are many
passengers on board, to prevent the windows from misting up.

the required heating or cooling conditions faster. Do not use the air
recirculation function on rainy/cold days as it would considerably
increase the possibility of the windows misting.

ution allows the passenger compartment to be warmed up

dashboard vents, rear vent and windscreen and front side win-
dow demisting/defrosting vents.
