Depending on the weather, the windshield may

The cooling function is only available when the
engine is running and is switched on automati-
cally with the AUTO program.

When the rear window defroster is
switched on, the LED comes on.
The defroster switches off auto-
matically after a certain time.

Microfilter/activated-charcoal filter
The microfilter traps dust and pollen in the

ter replaces this combined filter during routine
maintenance.
