Front visibility
control (7)
In certain cases, the comfort pro-
gramme may not be suffi cient to de-
mist or de-ice the windows (humidity,
several passengers, ice).

In this case, select the front vis-
ibility programme in order to clear
the windows quickly. The indicator
light comes on.
It controls the air conditioning, air fl ow
and intake and distributes the ventila-
tion to the windscreen and front side
windows.
The front visibility control symbol is
displayed on the multifunction display.
Once the inconvenience has been
eliminated, pressing button

the system to the comfort setting.
Intake of exterior
air/Recirculation of
interior air (8)
This function enables you to isolate
the passenger compartment from
exterior fumes and odours.

Press button 8 several times to set
the air intake mode, the indicator
light which corresponds to the mode
set comes on at your preference:
- intake of exterior air. Forced
exterior air intake mode.
- recirculation of the air inside the
passenger compartment.
The indicator light which
corresponds to the mode set
comes on. Prolonged operation
in interior air recirculation mode
may result in the formation of
condensation and deterioration
of the quality of the interior air.
Do not drive in air recirculation
mode for prolonged periods,
except in truly exceptional
atmospheric conditions.
The message associated with
the control is displayed on the
multifunction display.

Press button 8 to return to auto-
matic control of the air intake. The
indicator lights are switched off.
For your comfort, when the igni-
tion is switched off, the settings are

Rear screen
demisting (9)
The heated rear screen operates inde-
pendently of the air conditioning system.

Press button 9 , with the engine
running, to demist the rear screen
and the mirrors. The indicator light
comes on.
Demisting is switched off automatical-
ly to avoid an excessive consumption
of current and in relation to the exterior
temperature.
It may be stopped by pressing button
9
again or when the engine is switched off.
However, the demisting resumes if
the engine is switched on again within
one minute.
Switch off the rear screen and exterior
mirrors demisting when you consider
this necessary as low current con-
sumption reduces fuel consumption.
