 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 available when the engine is auto-stopped.

The following also takes place when the function is active in order to provide maximum dehumidification in the passenger compartment:

  • the air conditioning is automatically engaged
  • recirculation and the air quality system are automatically disengaged.
