increase or counterclockwise to de-
crease the temperature. Only change

i Your vehicle may be equipped with an air-
conditioning system in the rear compartment
and/or a rear heater.
If both systems are installed and the tempera-
ture control is in the center position, only one of
the systems operates and air-recirculation mode
is active.
You can adjust the center and side air
vents. The entire vehicle interior is ventilat-
ed via the air vents.
Observe the following instructions so air
can flow freely through the air vents:
O keep the air inlet on the hood free from
ice and snow.
O never cover the vents or air inlet and
outlet grilles in the vehicle interior.
O for virtually draft-free ventilation, move
the sliders on the center air vents to
the central position.

G Warning
Air flowing out of the air vents may be very
hot or very cold. There is therefore a risk of
frostbite or burns to bare skin in the immedi-
ate proximity of these outlets. Keep bare skin
away from these air outlets. If necessary, di-
rect the airflow into a different area of the ve-
hicle interior.
