Peugeot 2008: Ease of use and comfort / Front demisting - defrosting. Heated windscreen
Front demisting - defrosting
Automatic Visibility programme
This mode allows the windscreen and side windows to be demisted or defrosted
as quickly as possible.
- Press this button to
activate/deactivate the mode (confirmed by the illumination/extinction of
the indicator lamp).
The programme automatically manages the air conditioning (depending on
version), air flow and air intake, and provides optimum distribution towards the
windscreen and side windows.
It is possible to manually change the air flow without deactivating the
automatic Visibility programme.
With Stop & Start, when
demisting has been activated, STOP mode is not available.
In wintry conditions,
remove all snow or ice on the windscreen near the camera before moving off.
Otherwise, the operation of the equipment associated with the camera
may be affected.
Heated windscreen
In cold weather, this system heats the bottom of the windscreen, as well as
the area alongside the left-hand windscreen pillar.
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.
On/Off
- With the engine running, press this button to activate/deactivate the
function (confirmed by an indicator lamp).
The function is activated when the exterior temperature drops below 0°C. It
is deactivated automatically when the engine is switched off.
Interior air recirculation
The intake of exterior air prevents the formation of mist on the windscreen
and side windows.
Recirculating the interior air isolates the passenger compartment from
outside odours and fumes and allows the desired passenger compartment
temperature to be achieved more rapidly...
Rear screen demisting/defrosting
Demisting/defrosting only operates with the engine running.
Depending on version, this also applies to the door mirrors...
