Recommendation for demisting front
windows at low exterior temperatures or
in rain: switch air distribution con-
trol : to the z position. Deactivate
air-recirculation mode À. Turn air-
flow control = to position 4.Turn tem-
perature control A clockwise as far as
possible.
Only use the "Windscreen demisting"
function
briefly
until the windscreen is
clear again.
R
Recommendation for rapid cooling or
heating of the vehicle interior: briefly
set airflow control = to 3 or 4.

Recommendation for a constant interior
temperature: set air flow control = to
position 1 or 2.
