® Defroster
The windshield and side windows are defrosted
or cleared of condensation as quickly as possible.
The maximum amount of air flows mainly from
the vents below the windshield. Recirculation
mode switches off. The temperature should be
set at +72 °F (22 °C) or higher. The temperature
is controlled automatically. Depending on the
outside temperature, the A/C cooling mode may
automatically switch on.
The [AUTO] button switches the defroster off.
& Rear window defogger
If the rear window defogger is activated when the
ignition is switched on, the battery management
determines based on the battery charge if it is
possible to turn on. Otherwise, the rear window
defogger functions with the engine running and
switches off automatically after 10 - 20 minutes,
depending on the outside temperature.
To prevent the rear window defogger from
switching off automatically, press and hold the
® button for more than two seconds. This re-
mains stored up to approximately 15 minutes af-
ter turning off the ignition.

temperature could develop burns when using
the seat heating function. To reduce the risk
of injury, these individuals should not use seat
