8. Front demisting - deicing
Remarks:
When starting from cold, in
order to prevent unwanted cold
air, the air fl ow will increase only
gradually to its optimum level.
If you enter the vehicle after a
fairly prolonged stop and the
temperature inside the vehicle
is far from comfortable, it serves
no purpose to modify the tem-
perature that is displayed as an
attempt to go immediately to the
desired comfort level. The sys-
tem automatically uses all of its
power to compensate the tem-
perature gap as quickly as pos-
sible.
Water arising from the conden-
sation in the air conditioning
drains out through a hole pro-
vided for this purpose ; a pool
of water may thus form under-
neath the vehicle when station-
ary.
Whatever the time of year, even
in cool weather the air condition-
ing is useful in removing humid-
ity and misting. Avoid driving for
too long with air conditioning
deactivated.

In the latter case, demisting
will resume when the engine is
switched on again.
Note:
The heated rear screen
operates independently of the
automatic air conditioning.
