partment through the air vents can be
very hot or very cold (depending on the
set temperature). This may cause burns
or frostbite on unprotected skin in the
immediate area of the air vents. Always
keep sufficient distance between unpro

tected parts of the body and the air
vents. If necessary, use the air distribu

tion control to direct the air to air vents
in the vehicle interior that are not in the
immediate area of unprotected skin.
