Risk of injury

Very hot or very cold air can flow from the air vents. This could cause burns or frostbite to bare skin in the immediate vicinity of the vents. Keep bare skin away from these air outlets. If necessary, use the air-distribution control to direct the airflow away to a different area of the vehicle interior.

Please observe the following notes to ensure that the air can flow freely through the air vents:

  • Keep the air inlet on the bonnet free of deposits, such as ice or snow, to guarantee the supply of fresh air into the vehicle interior.

  • Never cover the vents or air inlet and outlet grilles in the vehicle interior.
