out of the floor outlets and cooler
air comes out of the center and side
outlets. When the temperature se-
lector 1 is in the fully cold or fully
hot position, the air from the floor
outlets and the air from the center
and side outlets will be the same
temperature.
The intake of exterior air helps avoid and
eliminate misting of the windscreen and side
windows.
The recirculation of interior air allows the
passenger compartment to be isolated from
polluted air in areas of heavy traffic and inside
tunnels.
Warning
The air conditioning cannot operate
