the o utlet s lots are not covered by cloth ing, etc .
• Climate cont rol works most effectively i f the w indows and the

@ Air flows to driver/front passenger
© Air flows to driver/front passenger
© Air flows to footwell
T he ai r outlets are actuated either automatically or manually
depending on the operating mode selected.
[I] Tips
• When climate control is working, cooled air will flow primarily
from out lets @ and @. To assure adequate cooling, outlets @ and
© should never be completely closed.
• T he air flow coming from the vents © can be adjusted to be colder
or warmer than the selected set temperature. •
Air outlets in the rear
Outlets in the center console
- Rotate the thumb wheel located next to the outlet to open
or close it.
- To adjust the direction of the airflow from the outlet, move the tab in the center of the outlet in the desired
direction . T he direction of the air delivered from the vents
can be adjusted horizontally and vertically.
Outlets in the door pillars
- Rotate the thumb wheel located next to the outlet to open
or close it .
- To adjust the direction of the airflow from the outlet,
mov e the tab in the center of the o utlet in the desired
direction. The direction of the air delivered from the vents
can be adjusted horizontally and vertically.
The air outlets are actuated either automatically or manually
depending on the operating mode selected. Heated or unheated
fresh air, or cooled air flows from the vents.
T he air outlets to heat the rear footwell are located under the front
seats.
[I] Tips
If the climate control sys tem is operating in cooling mode, air flows
primarily from the outlets in the center console and in the door
pillars. To ach ieve adequate cooling, you sho uld never close the
outlets completely. •
Using climate control economically
Using the climate controls prudently can help save fuel.
When you use the air conditioner, engine power is reduced
and fuel consumption increases . To save fuel, you should use
the air conditioner only when necessary . Also please note the
following points:
To save fuel, turn off cooling mode by pressing the
[AC)
butto n (indicator ligh t goes out).
- In addit ion, if you open the window or the sunroof* while
driving, turn
off cooling mode by pressing the [AC] button
(indicator light goes out).
If the vehicle is extremely hot due to the heat of the sun,
briefly ope n doors and windows.
ffi For the sake of the environment
By reducing the amount of fue l you use, you also reduce the amount
of pollutants emitted into the air.•
