Important safety notes
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 
could cause burns or frostbite to unprotected 
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 immediate 
area of unprotected skin.
In order to ensure the direct flow of fresh air 
through the air vents into the vehicle interior, 
please observe the following notes:
• keep the air inlet between the windshield 
and the hood free of blockages, such as ice, 
snow or leaves.
• never cover the air vents or air intake grille 
in the vehicle interior.
 For virtually draft-free 
ventilation, adjust 
the sliders of the air vents to the center 
position.
