Air distribution selection
Air flow to the windscreen and front side window vents to demist/defrost them.
Air flow at central and side dashboard vents to ventilate the chest and the face during the hot season.
Air flow to the front and rear footwell vents. This air distribution setting heats the passenger compartment most quickly, giving a
prompt sensation of warmth.
In FULL AUTO mode, the climate control system automatically manages air distribution (the LEDs on buttons 9 and 11 are off). When
set manually, the air distribution is indicated by the LEDs on the selected buttons switching on
You can also set a combination of the air distribution settings described above. In combined function mode the relevant function is
enabled simultaneously with those already set by pressing the corresponding button. If a button whose function is already active is
pressed, the operation is cancelled and the corresponding LED switches off. To restore automatic control of the air distribution after
a manual selection, press the AUTO button.
