Front air distribution
selection buttons
(I-M)
Pressing the relevant
buttons it is possible to

manually choose one of the five possible air
distributions to the left and right side of the passenger
compartment:

▲

Air flow to the windscreen and front side window
vents to demist or defrost them.

Air flow to dashboard central and side vents to pro-
vide satisfactory ventilation to the chest and face,
specially during the summer.

▼

Air flow towards the front and rear lower parts of
the passenger compartment. Due to the natural ten-
dency of heat to spread upwards, this type of distri-
bution allows heating of the passenger compartment
in the shortest time, also giving a prompt feeling of
warmth to the coldest parts of the body.

▼

Splitting of the air flow between the vents to the
lower part of the passenger compartment (warmest
air) and the dashboard centre and side outlets
(coolest air). This air flow distribution is particu-
larly useful in spring and autumn, when the sun is
shining.

▼

Splitting of the air flow between the lower part of
the passenger compartment and the windscreen and
front side window demisting/defrosting vents. This
type of air distribution allows satisfactory heating of
the passenger compartment while preventing pos-
sible misting of the windows.
