with the vehicle stationary and engine off.
Head restraints must be adjusted so that the
head, rather than the neck, rests on them. Only in
this case they can protect your head correctly. To
make the best use of the head restraint protection,
adjust the seat back to keep a straight back, with
the head as close as possible to its restraint.

IMPORTANT It is advisable to activate air recirculation
in queues or in tunnels to prevent the introduction of pol-
luted air. However, it is better not to use the function for
long periods, particularly if there are many people on
board, to prevent the windows from misting inside.
D. Air recirculation on/off button
(LED lit up when function is on).
E Manual climate control compressor on/off button
(LED lit up when function is on).
F Heated rear window activation/deactivation button.
When the function is active, an LED on the button
