air flow distribution modes can be selected:
air flow to the windscreen and front side window
diffusers to demist or defrost them.air flow to central and side dashboard vents to
ventilate the chest and the face during the hot
season.towards the footwell diffusers. Due to the
natural tendency of heat to rise, this type of
distribution warms the passenger compartment
up as quickly as possible, providing an immediate
feeling of warmth.+
distribution between footwell diffusers
(warmest air) and dashboard vents (coolest
air).
+
distribution between footwell diffusers and
