FAST DEMISTING AND/OR DEFROSTING

1) Air distribution knob, pointer to

MAX

DEF

The system is set for rapid demisting/defrosting of the
windscreen and side windows by activating the
following functions automatically:
❒ max temperature
❒ high air flow
The system limits the fan speed until the fluid reaches
the temperature required to prevent cool air entering
the passenger compartment.
❒ air recirculation off (led off) so that outside air is

directed into the passenger compartment;

❒ compressor on (led on);
❒ air distribution to windscreen.
When the windscreen and windows have been
demisted/defrosted, adjust the air distribution knob to
restore the required conditions.

IMPORTANT An important characteristic of the
climate control system is the de-humidification of the
air. We recommend that you always engage the
compressor by pressing button

√ (led on) to prevent

misting.

IMPORTANT When outside humidity is high or when
it is raining or when there is a big difference in
temperature between temperature inside the
passenger compartment and the outside air, you can
prevent the windows misting up by proceeding as
follows:
❒ air recirculation off (led off);
❒ air temperature knob to

;

❒ fan speed to 2

speed at least;

❒ air distribution knob to - with possibility of

changing to

≤ if the windows do not begin to steam

up;

❒ engage the compressor by pressing switch √ (led

on).
