As soon as possible, move control

4 to the right to the "Intake of exte-
rior air" position to avoid the risks of
deterioration of the air quality and
misting of the windscreen and side
windows. The intake of exterior air (con-
trol
4 to the right) enables you
to prevent and eliminate mist-
ing of the windscreen and
side windows. With the engine running,
press button
6 , the indica-
tor light comes on.
The system demists the
rear screen.
It is switched off by pressing control 6 .
In a humid climate, use of the
air recirculation may cause
misting of the windows. Switch the system off as
soon as you consider this
necessary as a lower con-
sumption of current reduces
fuel consumption.

screen and side windows:

and the air fl ow control 3 at maxi-
