window/external mirrors
The button is located on the climate-control
panel. An LED in the button is lit as long as
heating is on.
Switch off the heating as soon as the rear
window is clear. It will go off automatically
after about 10 minutes.
If the battery voltage is lower than 12 V the
heating will be switched off earlier so that
the battery can get the benefit of the alterna-
tor charge.

have started the engine.
Do not use position 4 on the fan switch, as
this is mainly intended to provide rapid cool-
ing in hot weather.
