Air conditioning
The heated windscreen is comprised of a set
of heat
ed wires placed between the layers of
the windscreen which, when electric current is
supplied to them, heat up and cause the tem-
perature of the glass to rise.
Its function is to assist the air-conditioning sys-
tem to prevent the windscreen from misting up
or to demist it faster if it does mist up.
The system can be switched on manually or
automatically.
Manual activation
●
Press the button
in the air conditioning
settings in the inf
otainment system.
The heated windscreen is switched o based
on the outside temperature and, in any case,
after approximately 8 minutes.
Automatic activation
The heated windscreen switches on automati-
cally when a window is at risk of misting up.
●
Open the air conditioning settings in the info-
tainment system ›››page117.
●
Switch the automatic heated windscreen on
or o.
The automatic heated windscreen is switched
on, even when the air conditioning is switched
o.
Thermal windscreen using the defrost func-
tion
If the defrost function is switched on and a sen-
sor detects that the windscreen could mist up,
the heated windscreen switches on.
When does the heated windscreen switch
o?
The heated windscreen switches o when one
of the following conditions is met:
●
Power consumption is too high.
●
The air conditioner fuse is faulty.
●
If the preset time has elapsed.
Location of electronic accessories
The windscreen heating has a film that reflects
infra-red rays. This film interferes with the op-
eration of electronic accessories (e.g. remote
tolls or similar devices). To avoid this, there are
defined areas next to the interior mirror where
these devices can be placed ›››Fig.94 (ar-
rows).
These areas should not be covered and stickers
should not be placed on them, as this could
cause anomalies in the operation of electronic
components placed there.
Troubleshooting
The cooling system cannot be switched on
or its operation is limited
If the air conditioning system cannot be
switched on, this may be caused by the follow-
ing:
●
The engine is not running.
●
The fan is switched o.
●
The air conditioner fuse has blown.
●
The outside temperature is lower than ap-
proximately +3°C (+38°F).
●
The air conditioner compressor has been
temporarily switched o because the engine
coolant temperature is too high.
●
Another fault in the vehicle. Have the air con-
ditioner checked by a specialised workshop.
The heating and fresh air system cannot be
switched on or operates in a limited way
●
The heating and fresh air system and the de-
frost function operate best when the engine is
hot.
●
If the fault continues, consult a specialised
workshop.
