Rear window heating
Switching on/off
G WARNING
Clear all windows of ice or snow before setting
off. Otherwise, impaired visibility could
endanger you and others.
The rear window heating has a high current
draw. You should therefore switch it off as
soon as the window is clear. It otherwise
switches off automatically after several
minutes.
If the battery voltage is too low, the rear win-
dow heating may switch off.

Problems with the rear window heating
The rear window heating has switched off
prematurely or cannot be activated. The on-
board voltage is too low because too many
electrical consumers are switched on.
X
Switch off any consumers that are not
required, e.g. seat heating or interior light-
ing.
When the battery is sufficiently charged,
the rear window heating is activated again
automatically.
Activating/deactivating air-recircula-
tion mode

unpleasant odours are entering the vehicle
from outside. The air already inside the vehi-
cle will then be recirculated.

WARNING
Only switch over to air-recirculation mode
briefly at low outside temperatures. Other-
wise, the windows could mist up, thus impair-
ing visibility and endangering yourself and
others. This may prevent you from observing
the traffic conditions, thereby causing an
accident.
