Icon Description
Recirculation button
Press and release this button to change the system between “Recirculation” mode and “Outside air” mode. The
“Recirculation” mode can be used when outside conditions, such as smoke, odours, dust or high humidity are
present.
The “Recirculation” mode can be used in all modes except defrosting. The “Recirculation” function may be
unavailable if there are conditions that could create fogging on the inside of the windscreen. The A/C can be
deselected manually without disturbing the mode control selection. It is, however, inadvisable to use it on
rainy/cold days, or with low external temperatures, as it would considerably increase the possibility of the
windows misting up inside rapidly (especially if the climate control system is off) and can foul the air inside the
car.

Push and release this button to turn on the heated rear window and the heated outside mirrors (where
provided). When the heated rear window is activated the corresponding LED lights up. The heated rear window

Temperature control knob
Temperature control is used to regulate the temperature of the air forced through the climate system. The
temperature can be selected using the temperature control knob on the control panel. The temperature increases
as you turn the temperature control knob clockwise. The temperature decreases as you turn the temperature
control knob anticlockwise.
Fan control
Fan control is used to regulate the amount of air forced through the climate system. There are seven fan speeds
available. The fan speed increases as you turn the fan control knob clockwise from the lowest fan setting. The
fan speed decreases as you turn the fan control knob anticlockwise.
Mode control
Turn the mode control knob to change the airflow distribution mode. The airflow distribution mode may be
adjusted so that air flows from the dashboard vents, from the floor vents or from the defrosting and demisting
vents. The mode settings are as follows:
