Heating & ventilating
76
Programmed defrost/demist
With the engine running, press
the ’PROG’ button to
clear frost or mist at the beginning of a
journey (indicator light illuminates and the
’PROG’ symbol appears in the display).
The ’programmed defrost’ facility
automatically activates the following:
• The most efficient heater settings to clear
the windscreen and front side windows
• The heated rear screen - for a maximum of
16 minutes
• The heated windscreen - for a maximum
of 4 minutes
Press the button again to deactivate
’programmed defrost’ and restore the original
settings.
Recirculation
Press to recirculate air inside the
vehicle interior (indicator light
illuminates) - useful to prevent traffic fumes
from entering the passenger compartment.
Press again to cancel recirculation.
WARNING
Prolonged recirculation may cause the
windows to mist. If this happens, switch off
air recirculation immediately.
Air conditioning ’off’
Press to switch the air
conditioning off (indicator light
illuminates). With air conditioning off, the ATC
will function in a semi-automatic mode with
minimal disturbance to your comfort. When
the ATC can no longer achieve comfort
without assistance from the air conditioning,
the air conditioning indicator light will flash
for 10 seconds. Press again to restore the
previous air conditioning settings.
NOTE: In very humid conditions, slight
screen misting may be experienced when the
air conditioning system is turned on. This is a
natural occurrence on most automotive air
conditioning systems. It is not a fault; misting
will clear after a few seconds once the air
conditioning system is operating.
