movement.
The air flow can be changed manually without
deactivating this mode.

With Stop & Start, when demisting has
been activated, STOP mode is not
available.
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.
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.
In cold weather, this function heats the entire
windscreen and complements the Automatic
Visibility programme to speed up the evacuation
of elements that interfere with visibility (e.g. dew,
mist, frost, snow), located on either side of the
windscreen.

Rear screen demisting/
defrosting

Front demisting/defrosting
This mode allows the windscreen and side
windows to be demisted or defrosted as quickly
as possible.
The function can be activated whatever
the outside temperature may be.The period
of operation depends on the outside
temperature.Demisting/defrosting therefore
switches off automatically to prevent an
excessive consumption of electrical current.
► Press this button to activate/de-
activate the mode (confirmed by
the illumination/ extinction of the
indicator lamp).
► With the engine running, press this button to
activate/deactivate the function (confirmed by
an indicator lamp).
The mode automatically manages the air
conditioning, air flow, air intake and distributes
ventilation optimally to the windscreen and side
windows.
The period of operation depends on the outside
temperature.
The function switches off automatically to
prevent excessive power consumption.
