AIR DISTRIBUTION
Using knob D-fig. 63it is possible to
choose manually 5 of the possible air dis-
tributions to the passenger compartment:
«air flow from centre and side vents (2)
and (4) fig. 60;
Δair flow from centre and side vents (2)
and (4) and downwards (5) and (6) fig.
60(bilevel function);
≈air flow downwards (5) and (6) fig. 60;
ƒair flow downwards (5) and (6) fig. 60
and also to the windscreen (3);
-to demist and defrost windscreen (3)
and front side windows (1) fig. 60.TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT
Proceed as follows:
Turn knob B-fig. 63clockwise (pointer
to red sector) to increase temperature or
turn it counter-clockwise to decrease
temperature;
FAN SPEED ADJUSTMENT
Proceed as follows:
❒open completely central (4) and side
(2) fig. 60vents;
❒turn knob B-fig. 63to the blue sec-
tor;
❒set Ato the required speed;
❒set knob Dto «;
❒set knob Eto Úto turn air recir-
culation offRECIRCULATION
Set knob Eto ….
This function is particularly useful when
the outside air is heavily polluted (in a traf-
fic jam, tunnel, etc.). However, it is bet-
ter not to use it for long periods, espe-
cially if there are several people in the car
to prevent window steaming up.
IMPORTANT The inside air recirculation
system makes it possible to reach the re-
quired “heating” or “cooling” conditions
faster. Do not use the air recirculation
function on rainy/cold days as it would
considerably increase the possibility of the
windows misting inside.
