AIR DISTRIBUTION SELECTION
BUTTON (fig. 108)
By pressing button MODE (8) repeatedly,
you can manually choose one of the
five possible modes for air distribution:
E Flow of air to the dashboard centre
and side outlets and rear outlets.
E Splitting of the air flow between the
Z vents to the lower part of the passenger
compartment (warmest air)
and the dashboard centre and side
outlets and the rear outlet (coolest
air). This air flow distribution is particularly
useful in spring and autumn,
when the sun is shining.
Z Air flow towards the front and rear
lower part of the passenger compartment.
Due to the natural tendency of
heat to spread upwards, this type of
distribution allows heating of the passenger
compartment in the shortest
time, also giving a prompt feeling of
warmth to the coldest parts of the
body.

Q Splitting of the air flow between the
Z
windscreen and side window defrosting/demisting
vents and the lower
part of the passenger compartment.
This type of air distribution allows satisfactory
heating of the passenger
compartment while preventing possible
misting of the windows.
