80 Instruments and controlsAir distributionThe air distribution control is used to direct the flow of air to the
defroster, panel and floor vents.
The control also permits settings in between the three main settings
defroster, panel and floor:
 defroster and floor
 panel and floor
 defroster, panel and floor (11 o’clock position)
To counter cold drafts from the front side windows when the control
has been set to defroster or floor, a small flow of air issues from
the outer vents on the fascia.
As the winter comfort setting, we recommend that the distribution
knob be turned to .
Recommended settings in severe coldOn starting with a cold engine, set the fan speed to 2 or 3 and select
maximum heat and defroster to heat the cabin and demist the wind-
shield as quickly as possible.
When the engine is warmer and the temperature gauge starts to
rise, fan setting 4 may be chosen. Once the windshield is clear, the
air distribution control should be turned to .
If the rear seat passengers desire more warmth to the feet, turn the
distribution knob one step clockwise.
How quickly the engine warms up will depend on how the car is
driven. It will take longer for the engine to warm up if the car is driven
in a high gear at low engine speeds, such as in town, than if it is
driven at high engine speeds on a motorway, for example.
Do not use fan speed 5. This is primarily intended for rapid cooling
during the summer.

Emergency operation of the sunroofIn an emergency, such as if there is an elec-
trical failure, the sunroof can be operated
with a screwdriver.

a screwdriver to press in the pin in the slot
in the center of the motor shaft and turn the
screwdriver.
