Air distribution buttons (B)

Press these buttons to manually set one
of the seven air distribution settings:
▲ Air flow to the windscreen and front

side window vents to demist or de-
frost them.

˙ Air flow at central and side dashboard

vents to ventilate the chest and the
face during the hot season.

▼ Air flow to the front and rear foot well

vents. Thanks to the natural tenden-
cy of hot air to spread upwards, this
distribution pattern allows to warm
the passenger compartment up as
quickly as possible, providing an im-
mediate feeling of warmth.

▼

Air flow distributed between foot well
vents (hotter air) and central and side
dashboard vents (cooler air). This dis-
tribution is particularly useful in spring
and autumn on a sunny day.

▲

▼

Air flow distributed between foot well
vents and windscreen and front side
window defrosting/demisting vents.
This allows an adequate warming of
the passenger compartment and pre-
vents the windows from misting up.

▲

Air flow distributed between wind-
screen and front side window de-
froster/demister and central and side
dashboard vents. This distribution al-
lows to maintain good levels of com-
fort and the passenger compartment
adequately cool (summer).

Air flow distributed between wind-
screen and front side window de-
froster/demister and central and side

The set distribution is shown by the cor-
responding LEDs on the selected buttons.

To restore automatic air distribution con-
trol after a manual adjustment, press but-
ton AUTO.
