Switch to air recirculation mode to prevent
unpleasant odors from entering the vehicle
from the outside (e.g. before driving
through a tunnel). This setting cuts off the
intake of outside air and recirculates the
air in the passenger compartment.

The rear window defroster uses a large

amount of power. To keep battery drain to a min-
imum, switch off the defroster as soon as the
rear window is clear.

The rear window defroster is automatically

deactivated after some time of operation de-
pending on the outside temperature.

Warning!

Any accumulation of snow and ice should be

removed from the rear window before driv-

ing. Visibility could otherwise be impaired,

endangering you and others.

If the rear window defroster switches off too

soon and the indicator lamp goes out, this indi-
cates that too many electrical consumers are op-
erating simultaneously and the load on the
battery is reducing available voltage. The system
responds automatically by deactivating the rear
window defroster.

Warning!

Fogged windows impair visibility, endanger-

ing you and others. If the windows begin to

fog on the inside, switching off the air

recirculation mode immediately should clear

interior window fogging. If interior window

fogging persists, make sure the air

conditioning (
