The demisting/de-icing will still take
priority over the air recirculation.
In some situations (high humidity,
etc.) air recirculation is not activated
automatically, to ensure visibility
remains the priority (ventilation is
maintained using air from the out -
side).

partment), press button 9.
There are two ways to switch this func-
tion off:

where the paint has been damaged, to
prevent corrosion spreading.

anti-corrosion warranty. Refer to the
Maintenance Service Booklet.
Respect local regulations about wash -

If it is necessary to clean mechani -
cal components, hinges, etc., spray
them with products approved by our
Technical Department to protect them
after they have been cleaned.
Cleaning the headlights
As the headlights are made of plastic
“glass”, use a soft cloth or cotton wool
to clean them. If this does not clean
them properly, moisten the cloth with
soapy water, then wipe clean with a soft
damp cloth or cotton wool.
Finally, carefully dry off with a soft dry
cloth.
Cleaning products containing alco -
hol must not be used.
We have selected special products
to care for your vehicle and you can
obtain these from the manufactur -
er’s accessory outlets.
