Official manufacturer dataApplies to: Petrol and Super Hybrid (SHS-P)Source: Petrol handbook p101-104 · Super Hybrid handbook p100-102

Front windscreen demist/defrost

Press the front windscreen demist/defrost button. When its indicator is on, most of the air blows onto the windscreen and a little onto the side windows. Press again to switch off (indicator goes out).

If the fan is not off, pressing this button automatically switches to outside air and turns on the A/C compressor.

For the best results

  1. 1Before driving, make sure the inside of the glass is clean and dry. Wipe off any obvious dust or water.
  2. 2Set the fan to maximum.
  3. 3Set a comfortable temperature.
  4. 4Select outside air (not recirculated).
  5. 5Press the demist button, or select foot + defrost mode.
  6. 6Turn on the A/C (indicator lit).
  • In damp weather (rain or snow), keep the A/C on and keep outside air selected – otherwise demisting is less effective.
  • In winter, keep outside air selected and point the side vents on the dashboard towards the side windows. When it is above 0°C outside, use the A/C to help demist.
  • If the A/C does not cool, demisting will suffer – have it checked by an authorised Jaecoo service centre as soon as possible.
  • Once the glass is clear, set the air mode and fan back to a comfortable setting.

Caution:Poor visibility increases the risk of an accident and injury. Always use the demist function correctly, and do not use recirculated air for long periods in winter – the windscreen will quickly mist up.

Rear window and door mirror demist

With the car's power in ON mode, press the rear demist button. The indicator comes on and the rear window and door mirror heaters start. They switch off automatically after about 20 minutes, or press the button again.

Caution:Switch the rear demister off once the glass is clear. Do not scratch or damage the heater wires when cleaning the rear window or mirrors. If the battery is low, the rear demister cannot be turned on, so the car can still start.
