Risk of injury
Very hot or very cold air can flow from the
air vents. This could cause burns or frostbite
to bare skin in the immediate vicinity of the
vents. Keep bare skin away from these air
outlets. If necessary, use the air-distribution
control to direct the airflow away to a differ-
ent area of the vehicle interior.
Please observe the following notes to en-
sure that the air can flow freely through
the air vents:
I Keep the air inlet between the wind-
screen and the bonnet free of deposits,
such as ice and snow, to guarantee the
supply of fresh air into the vehicle inte-
rior.
I Never cover the vents or air inlet and
outlet grilles in the vehicle interior.
