obstruction is detected, the sunroof
will automatically retract. If this
occurs, remove the obstruction then
press the right front button and
release to express close.
NOTE:
If three consecutive attempts to close

Wind Buffeting Wind buffeting can be described as
the perception of pressure or a
helicopter-type sound. Your vehicle
may exhibit wind buffeting with the
windows down, or the sunroof in
certain open or partially open
positions. This is a normal occurrence
and can be minimised. If the buffeting
occurs with the rear windows open,
then open the front and rear windows
together to minimise the buffeting. If
the buffeting occurs with the sunroof
open, then adjust the sunroof opening
to minimise the buffeting.

Adjustable and fixed air vents allow
passengers to achieve the optimal
comfort conditions.
Fixed Air Vents • The fixed vents, positioned on the
upper part of the dashboard,
beneath the windshield and above
the front part of the front door
panels are meant to guarantee the
demisting and defrosting of the
windshield and the side windows. • The fixed vents under the dashboard
are aimed at ventilating the lower
part of the front passenger
compartment.
• The ventilation of the lower part of
the rear passengers compartment is
made by means of fixed vents
positioned under the front seats. Adjustable Air Vents • The adjustable vents are located at

CAUTION!
Failure to observe the following
cautions may cause damage to the rear windows defroster:
• Use care when washing the inside of
the rear window. Do not use abrasive
window cleaners on the interior
surface of the window. Use a soft
cloth and a mild washing solution,
wiping parallel to the heating
elements. Labels can be peeled off
after soaking with warm water.

12 - 13. Air flow distribution modes
The airflow distribution mode,
respectively on the driver and on the
passenger zone, can be adjusted so air
comes from the dashboard vents, vents
under the dashboard in direction of
the floor, vents under the front seats
and demist/defrost vents.
The MTC+ display contains the
relevant soft-keys used to set these
modes for each zone. The climate control panel features a single button
for each zone: press it several times to
select and set the required airflow
distribution mode.
Available settings are as follows:
• “Floor” mode
Air for each zone comes from the
front vents, located under the
dashboard and under the front
seats. A small portion of the airflow
is directed through the
defrost/demist vents to prevent
windows fogging.
• “Dashboard” mode
Air flows for each zone from four
adjustable vents of the dashboard,
two vents on the upper part of the
dashboard and two positioned at
the rear end of the central console.
Each of these vents can be singly
adjusted. The air grids or vanes of
the vents can be moved to adjust air
flow direction. A setting wheel,
placed near each vent, allows to
regulate or close the airflow.
• “Bi-Level” mode
Air for each zone comes from the
dashboard and central console
adjustable vents and the fixed floor
vents. A small portion of the airflow
is directed through theDashboard Instruments and Controls
