The timer function minimizes the risk of mist-
ing, or stale air when the recirculation function

ting the recirculation timer. Recirculation is
always disengaged when you select

Directs airflow to the wind-
shield and side windows and
increases blower speed.
When the defroster is activated:
•
Air flows to the windows at high blower
speed.

The air conditioning is automatically
switched on (can be switched off by press-
ing button 5).

Press one of the three buttons
in the illustration to activate
the selected airflow. A symbol
in the display above the cli-
mate control panel and a lit
LED in the selected button
indicate that the manual func-
tion has been selected. With manually selected
airflow both warm and cool air can be selected.
The desired temperature is selected using con-
trol 9.

tem is engaged when the ON

The defrost function switches off automat-
ically after 12–20 minutes, depending on
the outside temperature.
