F Press control 7, with the
engine running, to demist
the rear screen and the door
mirrors. The indicator lamp
comes on.
7. Rear demisting / defrosting
This function enables you to isolate the
passenger compartment from exterior fumes
and odours.
Switch off the rear screen and door
mirrors demisting when you consider
this necessary as low current
consumption reduces fuel consumption.
F Press control 8 to set the air
intake mode, the indicator
lamp comes on.
Demisting is switched off automatically to
prevent an excessive consumption of current
and in relation to the ambient temperature.
It may be stopped by pressing control 7 again
or when the engine is switched off.
However, demisting resumes when the engine
is switched on again.
It must be cancelled as soon as possible to
permit renewal of the air in the passenger
compartment and demisting.
The heated rear screen operates independently
of the air conditioning system.
You can store the settings of the digital
air conditioning system. Refer to the
"Storing driving positions" section.
When starting with the engine cold,
the flow will reach its optimum level
gradually to prevent an excessive
distribution of cold air.
When entering the vehicle after it has
been parked for a fairly long period, if
the interior temperature is very different
from your comfort setting there is
no need to change the temperature
displayed in order to quickly reach the
level of comfort required. The system
automatically uses its maximum
performance to correct the difference in
temperature as quickly as possible.
The water resulting from the air
conditioning condensation is
discharged via an opening provided
for this purpose; therefore, a puddle of
water may form underneath the vehicle
when stationary.
In all seasons, if the weather is cool,
the air conditioning is useful as it
removes the humidity from the air
and the condensation. Avoid driving
for prolonged periods with the air
conditioning switched off.
