 Press this button to demist/defrost
the rear screen and (depending on
version) the exterior mirrors. The
indicator lamp associated with the

Switching off

automatically to prevent an excessive
consumption of current.

 It is possible to stop the demist-

fore the demisting/defrosting is

ing/defrosting will resume next
