- water recirculation pump activation
The system is deactivated after 15 minutes or
when the key is turned to

In addition, the REST function will be disabled
(if active), when the battery voltage is below
11.5V. When the outside temperature is above
25°C it will not be possible to activate the
function.

Defogging/demisting switch
H for rear window and
external rear-view mirrors
It is activated by operating the switch H and
activation is signalled by the LED.
If it is not deactivated within thirty minutes
after activation, this function deactivates
automatically.
It is however advisable to deactivate it once the
defogging/demisting process is complete.
Once the internal temperature has stabilised at
the desired level, you are advised not to change
the position of the selector unless the external
temperature changes drastically.
A change in the position of the temperature
selection switch will involve a difference
between temperature inside the passenger
compartment and the air coming out of the
vents. This difference will gradually decrease as
the system works at full, stabilised speed.
