Fig. 128 In the dash panel: vents

First read and observe the introductory information and safety warnings

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. When the mark on the thumb wheel is in position , the vent is closed.
  • 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.
Do not cover the ventilation openings underneath the loading edge and in the area above the first-aid kit as this prevents stale air from escaping the vehicle.
