automatically and gradually switch between day
and night usage.

brightens when reverse gear is engaged.

boot exceeds the height of the load space
cover or if the load space cover has items
placed on it.

is filtered and originates either from the
exterior, via the grille located at the base of the
windscreen, or from the inside in air recirculation
mode.

accessible in the Climate touch screen menu
or are grouped together on the centre console
panel.
The demisting/de-icing controls for the
windscreen and the rear screen are located
below the touch screen, or on the centre console
panel located below the audio system.
