Switching the rear window heater on/off
When the heater is switched on, a lamp lights up inside the button.
The heating only works when the engine is running.
The heater automatically switches off after approximately 7 minutes.
For the sake of the environment
The heating should be switched off as soon as the window is de-iced or free
from mist. The reduced current consumption will have a favourable effect on
fuel economy.
Note
■ If the on-board voltage drops, the heater switches off automatically, in order
to provide sufficient electrical energy for the engine control » page 147, Auto-
matic load deactivation .■
If the light is flashing inside the button the heater is off due to low battery.

This function only applies to certain countries. In some countries, the light at the rear is controlled inde-
pendently from the light at the front.
