heating setting.

coolant temperature and is thus not fully  
attained until the engine is warm.  
For rapid warming of the passenger  
compartment:

with a pleasant "coolhead and warm feet"  
effect, set the rotary air distribution  
switch to K, J or L, set temperature

position, preferably position J,
