Air Distribution Selection
By pushing the Mode Control buttons (Defrost/Panel/
Floor buttons), it is possible to set one of the seven
possible air distributions manually by activating one or
more mode buttons:
• Defrost Mode – Air flow to the windshield and front
side window diffusers to defrost them. Use Defrost
mode with maximum temperature settings for best
windshield and side window defrosting.
• Panel Mode – Air flow is distributed between the
central and side instrument panel vents.
• Floor Mode – Air flow is directed from the front and
rear footwell diffusers.
• Floor and Panel Modes – Air flow is distributed
between the footwell diffusers and the central and side
instrument panel vents.
GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE 123
• Floor and Defrost Modes – Air flow distributed be-
tween footwell diffusers and windshield and front side
window defrosting diffusers. This distribution setting
allows the passenger compartment to be warmed
effectively and prevents the windows from misting.
• Defrost and Panel Modes – Air flow distribution
between windshield defrosting diffusers and side and
central instrument panel vents.
• Defrost, Panel and Floor Modes – Air flow distribution
to all the diffusers.
NOTE: Air always flows from the side instrument panel
diffusers: it is, however, possible to interrupt the air flow
by operating the wheel located near the corresponding
vents.
