can only operate when the engine is
running.
Press this button to demist/defrost
the rear screen and (depending on
version) the exterior mirrors. The
indicator lamp associated with the
button comes on.
Switching off
The demisting/defrosting switches off
automatically to prevent an excessive
consumption of current.
It is possible to stop the demisting/de-
frosting operation before it is switched
off automatically by pressing the but-
ton again. The indicator lamp associ-
ated with the button switches off. The control button is located on

switched off automatically, demist-
ing/defrosting will resume next
time the engine is switched on.

as you consider this neces-
sary as lower current con-
sumption results in reduced
fuel consumption.
