Cabin air recirculation
Outside air intake prevents fogging on the windscreen and side windows.
Air recirculation isolates the cabin from outside odours and fumes and helps the cabin reach the desired temperature more quickly.

► Press this button to switch the function on / off (confirmed by the indicator light coming on / going off).
When the function is switched off, the system returns to its previous settings.

Front demisting - defrosting
Automatic Visibility programme
This mode defogs or defrosts the windscreen and side windows more quickly.
► Press this button to switch the mode on / off (confirmed by the indicator light coming on / going off).
It automatically manages the air conditioning (depending on version), airflow and air intake, and distributes the ventilation optimally to the windscreen and side windows.
The airflow can be changed manually without switching off the automatic Visibility programme.
With Stop & Start, the STOP mode is not available while demisting is active.
In winter conditions, before driving, be sure to remove any snow or frost from the windscreen in front of the camera.
Otherwise, the systems using the camera may not operate correctly.
