screen heaters can be

the engine is running.
The door mirror heaters are controlled by
the rear screen heater button.
Recommended mode
Select AUTO as the normal operating
mode.This will help prevent window
misting and odours from the climate
control system.
External water deposits
The air conditioning system removes
moisture from the air and deposits the
excess water beneath the vehicle.
Puddles may form, but this is normal
and no cause for concern.
Screen heaters
The windshield and rear screen heaters
will automatically activate on operation
of the DEF button or detection of
exterior temperatures at
5°C or lower.
