Front ventilation
You can adjust the vent outlets for the
upper body to suit your personal require-
ments.
You can use the serrated dials 1 to open
and close the vent outlets through an infi-
nitely-variable range, while the levers 2
allow you to adjust the airflow direction.
Ventilation for cooling
Adjust the vent outlets to direct the flow of
cool air in your direction, for instance, if the
interior has become too warm, etc.
Draft-free ventilation
Set the vent outlets so that the air flows
past you and is not directed straight at you.
You can also individually adjust the air tem-
perature of the vent outlets for the upper
body area using the Control Center.
Rear ventilation
The serrated dial 1 allows you to open and
close the vents through an infinitely-vari-
able range.
Serrated dial 2:
Turn towards blue: colder.
Turn towards red: warmer. You can adjust the airflow direction using
the levers 3.
Independent ventilation*
The independent ventilation blows air into
the passenger compartment to lower inte-
rior temperatures.
System operation is controlled using the
Control Center. You can set two different
times for the system to start.
The system remains on for 30 minutes. It
can also be switched on and off directly.
Since the system uses a substantial
amount of electrical current, you should
refrain from activating it twice in succes-
sion without allowing the battery to be
recharged in normal operation between
use.
The independent ventilation system is
available for preprogrammed operation at
outside temperatures above approx. 597/
156 and for direct activation at any tem-
perature, but is not operational when the
vehicle is underway.
The air enters the passenger compartment
through the vent outlets in the instrument
cluster, which can be adjusted for both
direction and airflow. These vent outlets
must be open for the system to operate.
