Recommendations for ventilation and air conditioning
If after an extended stop in sunshine, the   interior   temperature   is   very  
h

igh,   first   ventilate   the   passenger

Put
  the   air   flow   control   at   a   setting   high  
e

nough   to   quickly   change   the   air   in   the

LEd / Xenon front lamps
For motoring in countries that drive on the other s
ide   of   the   road,   it   is   necessary   to   adjust   the
