To adjust manuallyYou can also adjust the mirrors manually:press against the edges of the lens.
Storing mirror positions, refer to Seat
and mirror memory on page 45.
The mirror on the passenger's
side features a lens with a more
convex surface than the mirror installed
on the driver's side. When estimating
the distance between yourself and
other traffic, bear in mind that the
objects reflected in the mirror are closer
than they appear. This means that esti-
mations of the distance to following
traffic should not be regarded as
precise. This same precaution applies
to the rectangular outside sections of
both door mirrors. *
Both mirrors are heated automatically
when the ignition key is in position 2.
Interior rearview mirror To reduce glare from vehicles behind
you when you are driving at night, tilt
the mirror by turning the knob.
Vehicles not equipped with an alarm

Air conditioningAir supply
You can select blower speeds
from 1 to 4. The heating and
ventilation become more and
more effective as the air
supply settings are increased. In
position 0, the blower and the heater
are switched off. The outside air supply
is blocked in position 0.
Temperature
In order to increase the
temperature of the passenger
compartment, turn it to the
right (red). The temperature of
the incoming air is kept constant.
Air distribution
You can direct air to flow onto
the windows , toward the
upper body and into the
footwell . All intermediate
settings are possible. In the setting,
there is a low flow of air onto the
windows to keep them free of conden-
sation.
Rear window defroster
When the rear window defroster
is activated, the indicator lamp
comes on. The rear window defroster
switches off automatically.
At outside temperatures colder
than approx. 39 7 (+4 6) the
rear window defroster automatically
assumes operation within 5 minutes
after the engine is started.<
Air conditioning
The air is cooled and dehumidi-
fied and Ð depending on the
temperature setting Ð rewarmed when
the air conditioning is switched on.
Depending on the weather, the wind-
shield may fog over briefly when the
engine is started. Switching on the air
conditioning will reduce condensation
forming on the windows.
As the air-conditioning system
operates, condensation forms
within the system. This moisture is
conducted to an outlet beneath the
vehicle; it is thus not unusual for a small
puddle to form under the car while the
system is running.<
Recirculated-air mode
You can respond to unpleasant
external odors by temporarily
excluding the supply of outside air. The
system then recirculates the air
currently within the vehicle.
If the windows fog over in the
recirculated-air mode, switch it off
and increase the air supply as
required.<
