When the seat and passenger compartment
have reached a satisfactory temperature,
switch the function off; reducing electrical
consumption in turn decreases energy
consumption.
Prolonged use of heated seats is not
recommended for people with sensitive
skin.
There is a risk of burns for people whose
perception of heat is impaired (e.g.
illness,
taking medication).
To keep the heated pad intact and to prevent
a short circuit:

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).
This function is activated automatically when the front screenwash is used or
reverse gear is engaged.
Front demisting/defrosting
This mode allows the windscreen and side windows to be demisted or defrosted as quickly
as possible.
► Press this button to activate/deactivate
the mode (confirmed by the illumination/
extinction of the
indicator lamp).
The mode automatically manages the air
conditioning, air flow, air intake and distributes
ventilation optimally to the windscreen and side
windows.
The air flow can be changed manually without
deactivating this mode.
With Stop & Start, when demisting has
been activated, STOP mode is not
available.
In wintry conditions, before moving off, it
is essential to remove any snow or ice
from the windscreen around the camera.
Otherwise, the operation of the equipment
using the camera may be affected.
Heated windscreen

In cold weather, this system heats the bottom of
the windscreen, as well as the area alongside
the left-hand windscreen pillar.
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.
