Front demist – defrost
Automatic visibility
programme
The automatic visibility programme allows the
windscreen and side windows to be demisted
or defrosted as quickly as possible.F

P
ress this button to activate/
deactivate the function.
When the indicator lamp is on, the function is
activated.
The system automatically manages the air
conditioning (depending on version), air
flow and air intake, and provides optimum
distribution towards the windscreen and side
windows.
The system allows the manual modification of
air flow without causing automatic deactivation
of the automatic visibility programme.
With Stop & Start, when demisting –
defrosting has been activated, STOP
mode is not available. In wintry conditions, remove all snow or
ice on the camera on the windscreen
before moving off.
Other wise, this can affect the function
of the equipment associated with the
camera.
Heated windscreen
In cold weather, this system heats the bottom of
the windscreen, as well as the areas alongside
the windscreen pillars.
Without changing the settings for the air
conditioning system, it allows faster release
of the windscreen wiper blades when they
are frozen to the windscreen and helps avoid
the accumulation of snow resulting from the
operation of the windscreen wipers.
Switching on/off
F With the engine running, press this button to
activate/deactivate the function (confirmed
by the illumination/extinction of the indicator
lamp).
The function is active as soon as the outside
temperature drops below 0°C. It is deactivated
automatically each time the engine is switched
of f.
Rear screen demist –
defrost
On/Off
F Press this button to demist /defrost the rear screen and, depending
on version, the door mirrors
(confirmed by the illumination/
extinction of the indicator lamp).
Demisting/defrosting switches off automatically
to prevent an excessive consumption of
current.

daytime running lamps.
Parking lamps
Side markers for the vehicle by illumination of
the sidelamps on the traffic side only.
Automatic illumination of
headlamps
When the ring is at the " AUTO" position and
a low level of ambient light is detected by the
rain/sunshine sensor, the number plate lamps,
sidelamps and dipped beam headlamps are
switched on automatically, without any action
on the part of the driver. They can also come
on if rain is detected, at the same time as
automatic operation of the windscreen wipers.
As soon as the brightness returns to
a
sufficient level or after the windscreen wipers
are switched off, the lamps are switched off
automatically.

t he sunshine sensor, the lighting
comes on and this warning lamp is
displayed in the instrument panel,
accompanied by an audible signal
and/or a

a


qualified workshop.
Do not cover the sunshine sensor, linked
with the rain sensor and located at the
top centre of the windscreen behind the
interior rear view mirror; the associated

The screenwash jets are integrated in the
tips of each arm.
The screenwash fluid is sprayed along the
length of the wiper blade. This improves
visibility and reduces the consumption of
screenwash fluid.
In some cases, depending on the contents
or colour of the liquid and on the exterior
brightness, the liquid spray may be hardly
noticeable.
To avoid damaging the wiper blades, do
not operate the windscreen washer if the
windscreen washer reservoir is empty.
Only operate the windscreen washer if
there is no risk of the fluid freezing on the
windscreen and hindering visibility. Always
use windscreen washer fluid suitable for
low temperatures during the winter period.
