Adjusting the air vents
Important safety notes
G
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, direct the airflow away
to a different area of the vehicle interior.
In order to ensure the direct flow of fresh air
through the air vents into the vehicle interior,
please observe the following notes:
R
keep the air inlet between the windscreen
and the bonnet free of blockages, such as
ice, snow or leaves
R
never cover the vents or air inlet and outlet
grilles in the vehicle interior

For virtually draught-free ventilation,
adjust the sliders of the air vents to the

Setting the air vents in the glove com-

the glove compartment can be ventilated, for
instance to cool its contents. The level of air-
flow depends on the airflow and air distribu-
tion settings.

cle.
At high outside temperatures, open the air
vent and activate the "cooling with air dehu-
midification" function. Otherwise, temper-
ature-sensitive items stored in the glove
compartment could be damaged.
