Ventilation
System which creates and maintains
comfortable conditions in the vehicle's
passenger compartment.

Air intake

The air circulating in the passenger compartment
is filtered and originates either from the outside
via the grille located at the base of the windscreen
or from the inside in air recirculation mode.
Air flow paths
The incoming air follows various routes
depending on the controls selected by the
driver:
- direct arrival in the passenger
compartment (air intake),
- passage through a heating circuit (heating),
- passage through a cooling circuit (air
conditioning).
The temperature control enables you to obtain
the level of comfort required by mixing the air of
the various circuits.
The air distribution control enables you to
diffuse the air in the passenger compartment
combining several air vents.
The air flow control enables you to increase or
reduce the speed of the ventilation fan.
