Press this button: the climate control
system will automatically (for ap-
proximately 180 seconds) switch on
all the functions required for fast
windscreen and side window demist-
ing/defrosting regardless of the sys-
tem operation conditions, that is:
– climate control system compressor
on (where fitted)
– air recirculation off (if on)
– maximum air temperature (
HI
) on
both displays
– maximum fan speed
– air flow directed to the windscreen
and front side window vents
– heated rear window and external
rearview mirrors on.
The LED on the heated rear window
button and the amber LED on the air
recirculation button will come on
when the fast demisting/defrosting
function is on. The
ECON

If the engine is not
adequately warm, the fan will not im-
mediately be started at top speed to
limit letting cold air into the passen-
ger compartment for demisting the
windows.
Only the fan speed can be adjusted
and the heated rear window can be
switched off when the fast demist-
ing/defrosting function is on.
Press the fast demisting/defrosting

On certain versions the system is
completed by a sensor fog fitted be-
hind the driving mirror and able to
monitor a section of the windscreen
internal surface and to operate the
system automatically to prevent or to
remove inside fogging from wind-
screen and front side windows
through the following operations: air
recirculation opening, compressor ac-
tivation, air distribution to wind-
screen, fan speed sufficient for defog-
ging and

function activation
in case of hard fogging.
To guarantee sensor fog
proper operation, license
tag, parking disc or labels

windscreen clean, preventing any
accumulation of dust or other sub-
stances.
