NOTE
Heated windscreen and IR window (p. 19)
may have an impact on the performance of
transponders and other communication
equipment.
NOTE
A triangular area at the end of each side of
the windscreen is not electrically heated,
where de-icing may take longer.
NOTE
Electrically heated windscreen is not avail-
able when the engine is auto-stopped
(p. 281).
The following also takes place in order to pro-
vide maximum dehumidification in the pas-
senger compartment:

the air conditioning is automatically
engaged

recirculation and the air quality system
are automatically disengaged.

The noise level increases as the fan is
operating at max.

control returns to the previous settings.

Air distribution - recirculation
Select recirculation to shut out bad air,
exhaust gases etc. from the passenger com-
partment, i.e. no outside air is taken into the
car when this function is activated.
When recirculation is
engaged the orange lamp in
the button illuminates.
IMPORTANT
If the air in the car is recirculated for too
long then there is a risk of misting on the
insides of the windows.
Timer
With the timer function activated the system
will exit manually activated recirculation mode
according to a time that depends on the out-
side temperature. This reduces the risk of ice,
misting and bad air.
It is possible to activate/deactivate the func-
tion in the menu system MY CAR. For a
description of the menu system, see MY CAR
(p. 116).

If the character
C is shown in the rearview mirror when the heated windscreen is activated then the compass (p. 110)* must be recalibrated.
