Rear screen demist –
defrost
On/Off
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.
The system allows the manual modification of
air flow without causing automatic deactivation
of the automatic visibility programme.
F Press this button to demist/defrost
the rear screen and, depending
on version, the door mirrors
(confirmed by the illumination/
extinction of the indicator lamp).
With Stop & Start, when demisting –
defrosting has been activated, STOP
mode is not available.
Demisting/defrosting switches off automatically
to prevent an excessive consumption of
current.
