the air conditioning system.
Recirculation of interior air
The intake of exterior air prevents the formation
of mist on the windscreen and side windows.
Recirculation of the interior air isolates the
passenger compartment from outside odours
and fumes and allows the temperature required
in the passenger compartment to be reached
more rapidly.

windscreen and side windows to be demisted
or defrosted as quickly as possible.F

P
ress this button to activate/
deactivate the function.
When the indicator lamp is on, the function is
activated.
The system automatically manages the air
conditioning (depending on version), air
flow and air intake, and provides optimum
distribution towards the windscreen and side
windows.
The system allows the manual modification of
air flow without causing automatic deactivation
of the automatic visibility programme.
With Stop & Start, when demisting –
defrosting has been activated, STOP
mode is not available. In wintry conditions, remove all snow or
ice on the camera on the windscreen
before moving off.
Other wise, this can affect the function
of the equipment associated with the
camera.
Heated windscreen
In cold weather, this system heats the bottom of
the windscreen, as well as the areas alongside
the windscreen pillars.
Without changing the settings for the air
conditioning system, it allows faster release
of the windscreen wiper blades when they
are frozen to the windscreen and helps avoid
the accumulation of snow resulting from the
operation of the windscreen wipers.
Switching on/off
F With the engine running, press this button to
activate/deactivate the function (confirmed
by the illumination/extinction of the indicator
lamp).
The function is active as soon as the outside

This is an additional and separate system
which heats the passenger compartment and
improves defrosting performance. This indicator lamp is lit while the
system is programmed or set in
operation remotely via the remote
control.
It flashes during the whole duration
of the heating and goes off at the end
of the heating cycle or when stopped
using the remote control.
Ventilation
This system allows ventilation of the passenger
compartment with exterior air to improve the
temperature experienced on entering the
vehicle in summer.
