many people on board, to prevent the windows from misting.
NoteTo stop the air flow from the vents, turn the knob to 0.
ADDITIONAL HEATER

The additional heater speeds up passenger compartment warming when it is very cold. The heater switches on automatically
according to the environmental conditions and with engine started when the temperature of the engine coolant is low. The
additional heater turns off automatically after the required comfort conditions are achieved.
The heater only works if the outside temperature and engine coolant temperature are low. The heater will not activate if the
battery voltage is too low.

By pressing the buttons, one of the five possible air flow distribution patterns can be selected:
air outlet from the windscreen and front side window vents to demist or defrost them.
air outlet from the dashboard central and side vents to ventilate the chest and the face.
air outlet from footwell vents. Due to the natural tendency of heat to spread upwards, this type of distribution warms the
passenger compartment up as quickly as possible.
+air outlet from the footwell vents (warmest air) and the dashboard vents (coolest air).
+air outlet from footwell, windscreen and front side window vents. This type of distribution achieves effective heating of
the passenger compartment and prevents the windows from misting up.
