programmes.
Each one is saved in the system.
To optimise the driving range, we recommend
starting a programme while the vehicle is
connected.

is only activated if the battery charge level is

recurring programme is active (e.g. from Monday

sequences are run without the vehicle being used,
the programme will be deactivated.

This function heats the windscreen and washer
jets under cold conditions.
Without changing the settings for the air
conditioning system, it allows faster release
of the windscreen wiper blades when they
are frozen to the windscreen and helps avoid
the accumulation of snow resulting from the
operation of the windscreen wipers...
