perature). This may cause burns or frostbite
to unprotected skin in the immediate area of
the air vents.
Always keep sufficient distance between un-
protected parts of the body and the air
vents. If necessary, use the air distribution
adjustment (
page 246) to direct the air to
air vents in the vehicle interior that are not
in the immediate area of unprotected skin.

ing and cooling given on the following pages
