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.
