4. Air intake/Air recirculation
5. Demisting the rear screen and
exterior mirrors
Rapid demisting of the
windscreen
To quickly de-ice or demist the wind-
screen and side windows:
- place the air distribution control in
the "windscreen and side windows"
position,
- place air intake control button 4 in
the "Outside Air Intake" position,
(button 4 indicator light off),
- place the temperature 1 and air flow
2 controls at maximum, as indicated
by the "Windscreen and side win-
dows" symbol on the control panel,
- close the centre vents.
The recirculation of interior air ena-
bles you to isolate the passenger
compartment from exterior odours
and smoke.
The outside air intake enables you to
prevent and eliminate the condensation
on the windscreen and side windows.
When the air recirculation is used
in a humid climate, there is a risk of
misting of the windows.
Pressing the button once
demists the rear screen
and the exterior mirrors.
This switches off automati-
cally to prevent an exces-
sive consumption of current.
Pressing again reactivates demisting.
It is possible to stop demisting be-
fore it is switched off automatically by
pressing the button again.
Pressing button 4 permits
recirculation of the interior
air. This is indicated by il-
lumination of the indicator
light. As soon as possible,
press button 4 again to permit the
intake of outside air to prevent dete-
rioration of the air quality and avoid
misting of the windows. This is indi-
cated by the switching off of the indi-
cator light.
