Hazard switch
The alarm is activated using a push-button switch mounted in the console section of the instrument panel between the two central deflectors (see illustrations 15.1 and 17.7). The button is marked with an icon depicting two triangles inscribed in each other. To make it easier to find the switch, when the ignition is turned on, the red field of the button is highlighted. Pressing the alarm button leads to the simultaneous operation of all four direction indicators (and their indicator lights on the vehicle's instrument cluster). The alarm is designed to warn other road users about the forced stop of the car and is also used in other dangerous situations provided for by traffic rules. To turn off the alarm, press the switch button again.

Control unit for the functioning of ventilation, heating and air conditioning systems
Control unit for the functioning of ventilation / heating / air conditioning systems (HVAC) is placed at the bottom of the console section of the instrument panel. Detailed information on the block describing the principles of systems management is given in Part D of this Chapter (see Section 18). For the purposes of this subsection, only the pushbutton switch is considered (see illustration 17.8) activation of heated rear window/door mirrors integrated in the panel of the HVAC control unit.
17.8. Heated rear window/door mirror button (using the example of an HVAC control panel with manual adjustment)
Heated rear window/door mirror button
Electric heating is activated by pressing the switch button with the ignition on, and on models equipped with climate control (see Section 18) - with the engine running. Electric heating allows you to remove condensate, frost, and even light frost from the glass surface. The correct functioning of the heating element is confirmed by the activation of the LED built into the button. On models of the corresponding configuration, the electrically heated door mirrors are activated simultaneously with the heated rear window.
The heating is turned off by pressing the button again, or automatically (with appropriate equipment), after about 15 minutes after activation by a special timer signal, the LED should go out.
The filamentous mesh of the heating element of the heater is glued to the inner surface of the rear window and requires care in handling - try not to damage the mesh when wiping the glass (wiping should be done only along the heater filaments).
