& Defrosting
The windshield and side windows are defrosted
or cleared of condensation as quickly as possible.
Align the outer air vents with the side windows.
The maximum amount of air flows mainly from
the vents below the windshield. Recirculation
mode switches off. The temperature should be
set at 72 °F (+22 °C) or higher. The temperature
is controlled automatically.
You can switch the defroster on or off using the
X& button. You can switch the function off by
pressing a knob (4).
@ Rear window defogger
The rear window defogger only operates when
the engine is running. It switches off automati-
cally after 10 to 20 minutes, depending on the
outside temperature.

switching off automatically, press and hold the
® button for more than three seconds. This is
stored until the ignition is switched off.

sole using the ridged thumbwheels. The levers
