rear of the vehicle.
To ensure optimum visibility during your
manoeuvres, the mirror lightens
automatically when reverse gear is engaged.
Rear bench seat

Switching the system off
► Press this button.
Its indicator lamp comes on and all other indicator
lamps for the system go off.
This action deactivates all functions of the air
conditioning system.
The temperature is no longer regulated. A slight
flow of air can still be felt, due to the forward
movement of the vehicle.
Interior air recirculation
The intake of exterior air prevents the formation
of mist on the windscreen and side windows.
Recirculating the interior air isolates the
passenger compartment from outside odours
and fumes and allows the desired passenger
compartment temperature to be achieved more
rapidly.
►  Press this button to activate/
deactivate the function (confirmed by the
illumination/extinction of the indicator lamp).
The function is activated automatically
when reverse gear is engaged.
Front demist - defrost
►  Press this button to activate/
deactivate the demisting or defrosting of
the windscreen and side windows (confirmed by
the illumination/extinction of the indicator lamp).
The system automatically manages the air
conditioning, air flow and air intake, and provides
optimum distribution towards the windscreen and
side windows.
Rear screen demist
- defrost
Demisting/defrosting only operates with the
engine running.
Depending on version, this also applies to the door
mirrors.
►  Press this button to activate/
deactivate the function (confirmed by the
illumination/extinction of the indicator lamp).
Demisting/defrosting switches off automatically
to prevent an excessive consumption of electrical
current.
Switch off demisting/defrosting as soon
as you no longer consider it necessary,
as reducing the consumption of electrical
current reduces fuel consumption.
Heated windscreen and
washer jets
Depending on country of sale.

This function heats the windscreen and washer
jets under cold conditions.
Without changing the settings for the air
conditioning system, it allows faster release
of the windscreen wiper blades when they
