Activating and deactivating max defroster
Max defroster is used to quickly remove mist and ice from windows.
Max defroster deactivates auto-regulation of the climate and air recirculation, activates air conditioning and changes the fan level to 5 and the temperature to HI.
Note
- Changing the fan level to 5 increases the noise level.
- When max defroster is deactivated, the climate control system returns to the previous settings.
For cars with heated windscreen, the first press of the button activates the heating, and the next press activates max defroster. A third press deactivates both.

Air distribution
The climate control system distributes the incoming air via a number of different vents in the passenger compartment.
Some of the air vents in the car are adjustable, which means that you can open/close the vent to aim the air flow.
- With two seat rows – four on the instrument panel, two at the rear of the tunnel console and one on each of the door pillars between the front and rear doors.
- Addition with a third seat row – one on each of the door pillars behind the rear doors.
Changing air distribution
The air distribution can be changed manually if required.
- Open the climate view in the centre display by tapping on the temperature symbol at the bottom centre of the centre display.
- The air distribution buttons in the climate view are located in the centre around the AUTO button, from the top and down:
- Air distribution – windscreen defroster vents
- Air distribution – air vents in the instrument panel and centre console
- Air distribution – air vents in the floor
Press one or more of the air distribution buttons in order to open/close the corresponding airflow.
The air distribution is changed and the buttons illuminate/extinguish.
If all air distribution buttons are deselected in manual mode, the climate control system returns to automatically regulated climate control.
Opening, closing and aiming the air vents
Some air vents in the passenger compartment can be opened, closed and aimed individually.
- If the car’s outer vents are aimed at the side windows then misting can be eliminated.
- If the car’s outer vents are aimed inwards then, in a hot climate, a comfortable environment is obtained in the passenger compartment.
Opening and closing the air vents
- Roll the thumbwheel under the air vent in order to open/close the airflow from the vent.
- The longer the white lines on the thumbwheel that are visible, the higher the airflow.
Aiming the air vents
Move the lever in the middle of the air vent horizontally/vertically to direct the airflow from the vent.
