Window demisting
The climate control system is very
useful in preventing the windows from
misting up in the event of high levels
of humidity.

moisture and/or rain and/or
considerable differences in temperature
inside and outside the passenger
compartment, proceed as follows to
demist the windows:
❒turn knob A to the red section;

DEMISTING/DEFROSTING
Press button D (
) to activate/
deactivate the function. The function is
automatically deactivated after 20
minutes.
For versions/markets where provided,
press the
button to activate
demisting/defrosting of exterior rear
view mirrors and heated nozzles (for

properly.
INTERNAL AIR
RECIRCULATION
Press button F (
) so that the LED
around the button turns on. It is
advisable to switch internal 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.
IMPORTANT Internal air recirculation
makes it possible to reach the required
heating or cooling conditions more
quickly depending on the mode
selected. Do not use the air
recirculation function on rainy/cold days
as it would considerably increase the
possibility of the windows misting.SETTING THE AIR
DISTRIBUTION
Turn knob E to manually select one of
the four possible air distribution settings
in the passenger compartment:
Air flow to the windscreen and front
side window diffusers to demist/
defrost them.Air flow to the front/rear footwell
diffusers. This air distribution allows
the passenger compartment to
be warmed up quickly.Air flow distribution between front
and rear diffusers, centre/side
dashboard diffusers, rear diffuser
and windscreen and front side
window demisting/defrosting
diffusers.Air flow distribution to centre/side
dashboard diffusers (passenger's
body).

running, manual ventilation cannot be
lower than the minimum speed (only
one LED lit).
IMPORTANT With the compressor off,
air cannot be introduced to the
passenger compartment with

temperature. Moreover, under certain
environmental conditions, windows
could mist up rapidly since the air is not
dehumidified.
