Vents

The vents should be left open to ensure that the vehicle interior is sufficiently heated, ventilated and cooled.

  • Turn the relevant thumb wheel (magnified view) in the required direction to open and close the vents. The vent is closed when the thumb wheel is in position .
  • Adjust the direction of the airflow by moving the grille.

Additional vents can be found in the instrument panel , in the footwells and in the rear area of the vehicle interior.

NOTICE

Do not place any food, medicine or any other heat-sensitive items in front of the vents. Heat-sensitive food, medicine and other items could be either damaged or rendered useless.
The air from the vents flows through the entire passenger compartment and leaves the vehicle via the air outlet slots in the rear of the luggage compartment. The slots must not be covered by items of clothing or other items.
