(turns on demist-
ing/defrosting of the rearscreen and, if pre-
sent, the wing mirror coils. 
The turning on of this function is shown by
the turning on of the led on the button. 
This function is timed and switches off au-
tomatically after 20 minutes, or pressing the
button again; the function is also switched
off when the engine is stopped and will not
be switched on again the next time the en-
gine is started. 
IMPORTANT The system automatically
turns on rearscreen heating if the tempera-
ture is below 3°C. 
IMPORTANT Do not apply stickers on
the inside of the rearscreen over the heat-
ing filaments to avoid damage that might
cause it to stop working properly. 
POLLEN FILTER 
Have the conditions of the filter checked
by Alfa Romeo Authorised Services at least
once a year, preferably at the onset of sum-
mer. 
If the car is used mainly in dusty or pol-
luted areas it should be checked and, if nec-
essary, replaced at shorter intervals.

The filter has the specific capability of fil-
tering external air, thus admitting to the pas-
senger compartment purified air, free from
particles such as dust, pollen, etc. 
In addition to the above mentioned func-
tions, is also reduces the concentration of
pollutants.
The filtering action takes place under all
air inlet conditions and it is clearly most ef-
fective with the windows shut. 
The failure to replace the
filter may considerably re-
duce the effectiveness of
the climate control system up to
blocking the air flow from the out-
lets and vents.
