VENTILATION 
 System  which  creates  and  maintains  
comfortable  conditions  in  the  vehicle's 
passenger compartment.   Air flow paths  
 The incoming air follows various routes  
depending  on  the  controls  selected  by 
the driver:  
   -   direct arrival in the passenger com-
partment (air intake), 
  -   passage  through  a  heating  circuit  (heating), 
  -   passage  through  a  cooling  circuit  (air conditioning).  
 The temperature control enables you to  
obtain  the  level  of  comfort  required  by 
mixing the air of the various circuits.   The air distribution  control enables  you 
to diffuse the air in the passenger com-
partment combining several air vents.
