Adjusting the ventilation

General information

The air flow directions can be adjusted for direct or indirect ventilation.

Open the vents and position them to ensure effective climate control.

Direct ventilation

The air flow is directed towards the passengers.

The air flow heats or cools noticeably, depending on the adjusted temperature.

Indirect ventilation

The air flow is not directed towards the passengers.

The car's interior is warmed or cooled indirectly, depending on the set temperature.

  • Thumbwheel for variable opening and closing of the vents, arrow 2.

Varying the temperature of the ventilation

General information

The temperature of the ventilation in the upper body area can be varied.

The temperature is individually adjusted, e.g. colder toward blue, warmer toward red.

The air flow of the ventilation in the upper body region heats or cools noticeably, depending on the adjusted temperature.

This does not change the set interior temperature for the driver and front passenger.
