Warning!
When operating the climate control, the air
that enters the passenger compartment
through the air vents can be very hot or very
cold (depending on the set temperature).
This may cause burns or frostbite to unpro-
tected skin in the immediate area of the air
vents.
Always keep sufficient distance between
unprotected parts of the body and the air
vents. If necessary, use the air distribution
adjustment to direct the air to air vents in
the vehicle interior that are not in the imme-
diate area of unprotected skin.
Please comply with the following instructions
in order for the climate control to function
optimally:
X
Keep the air intake grille in front of the

any other debris.
