The vents should be left open to ensure that the vehicle interior is sufficiently heated, ventilated and cooled.

Turn the relevant thumb wheel (magnified view) in the required direction to open and close the vents. When the mark on the thumb wheel is in position , the vent is closed.

Adjust the direction of the airflow by moving the grille.

Additional vents can be found in the instrument panel , in the footwells and in the rear area of the vehicle interior.

NOTICE

Do not place any food, medicine or any other heat-sensitive items in front of the vents. Heat-sensitive food, medicine and other items could be either damaged or rendered useless.

Do not cover the ventilation openings underneath the loading edge and in the area above the first-aid kit as this prevents stale air from escaping the vehicle.
