Demisting/defrosting switches off automatically
to prevent an excessive consumption of electrical
current.
Switch off demisting/defrosting
when
you no longer need it; reducing electrical
consumption in turn decreases energy
consumption.
The air conditioning operates with the engine
running, but the ventilation and its controls can
be accessed with the ignition on.
Operation of the air conditioning and regulation
of temperature, air flow and air distribution in the
passenger compartment are automatic...

This function heats the windscreen and washer
jets under cold conditions.
Without changing the settings for the air
conditioning system, it allows faster release
of the windscreen wiper blades when they
are frozen to the windscreen and helps avoid
the accumulation of snow resulting from the
operation of the windscreen wipers...
