When operating the automatic climate con-
trol, the air that enters the passenger com-
partment through the air vents can be very
hot or very cold (depending on the set tem-
perature). This may cause burns or frostbite
to unprotected skin in the immediate area of
the air vents.
Always keep sufficient distance between un-
protected parts of the body and the air
vents. If necessary, use the air distribution
adjustment ( ୴ page 248) to direct the air to
air vents in the vehicle interior that are not
in the immediate area of unprotected skin.
i For draft-free ventilation, move the sliders
for the center air vents and side air vents to the
middle position.
