Front demist - defrost
Press this button to activate/deactivate
the demisting or defrosting of
the windscreen and side windows (confirmed by
the illumination/extinction of the indicator lamp).
The system automatically manages the air
conditioning, air flow and air intake, and provides
optimum distribution towards the windscreen and
side windows.
Rear screen demist - defrost
This demisting/defrosting only works with the
engine running.
Depending on version, it also demists/defrosts
the doors mirrors.
- Press this button to
activate/deactivate the function (confirmed by the
illumination/extinction of the indicator lamp).
Demisting/defrosting switches off automatically
to prevent an excessive consumption of electrical
current.
Switch off demisting/defrosting
when
you no longer need it; reducing electrical
consumption in turn decreases energy
consumption.
The air conditioning operates with the engine
running, but the ventilation and its controls can
be accessed with the ignition on.
Operation of the air conditioning and regulation
of temperature, air flow and air distribution in the
passenger compartment are automatic...
Depending on country of sale.
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...
Other information:
Anti-lock braking system (ABS)/Electronic brake force distribution (EBFD)

and handling during braking, and enable greater
control while cornering, particularly on poor or
slippery road surfaces.
ABS prevents wheel locking in the event of
emergency braking...
CHARGE
Traction battery charging during deceleration and
braking.
ECO
Moderate energy consumption and optimised
driving range.
POWER
Energy consumption by the drive train during
acceleration.
NEUTRAL
On switching on the ignition, your vehicle’s
electric drive train neither consumes nor
generates energy: after sweeping over the
indicator, the cursor returns to its "neutral"
position...
