first and press the locking knob.
6 - Heating control lever
Lever up - heat on

The heating will be more effective if you open one of
the vent wings slightly because the fan can then
force the warm air into the body interior more
easily.
7 - Heater control slides in front
footwell
The flow of warm air into the front footwell can be
controlled separately on each side.
Knob up — open
Knob down — closed
8 - Control lever for heating
in rear footwell
This lever controls the flow of warm air into the
rear footwell when the heat is on.
Lever up — rear seat heat on
Lever down — rear seat heat off
At low temperatures it is advisable to leave the rear
outlets closed when first moving off. This increases
the flow of air to the windshield to prevent steaming
up when humidity is high. As soon as the windshield
is clear, the rear footwell outlets should be opened
so that the interior of the body heats up as quickly
and uniformly as possible.
