Heating &  VentilationVENTILATION
The ventilation system provides fresh or heated 
air to the interior of the vehicle from the air 
intake grille in front of the windscreen. 
NOTE: Always keep the air intake grille clear of 
obstructions such as leaves, snow or ice.
Air outlets are provided to the windscreen, face 
and feet - the location of those vents is shown 
in the illustration above. The temperature of the 
air supplied to the vents is controlled by the 
heater.

Air Vents
The temperature of the air from all vents is 
controlled by the temperature settings of the 
heater.
Rotate the thumbwheel towards the green 
indicator to open, or the white indicator to close 
the vents. Direct the air flow by moving the 
control in the centre of the louvres.
To ensure best ventilation and minimum noise, 
the vents should be fully open when the air 
conditioning air distribution control is set to 
face level.

Rear vent controls
The left hand control operates the blower; 
rotate the thumbwheel upwards to increase the 
blower speed. The right hand control adjusts 
the temperature; rotate the thumbwheel 
upwards (red indicator) for warmer air, 
downwards (blue indicator) for cooler air.
NOTE: The temperature set by the front 
occupants restricts the maximum level of warm 
air the rear passenger can select.

USING YOUR HEATER
Fresh air enters the heater unit through the 
grille in front of the windscreen and stale air is 
drawn out through vents in the rear of the 
vehicle. 
The following examples of basic heater settings 
are intended as a general guide; the air 
distribution, temperature and blower controls 
can then be further adjusted to suit your 
comfort requirements. Always remember that 
full heating is not available until the engine has 
reached its normal operating...

COMFORT AIR CONDITIONING
The air conditioning system features automatic 
temperature and air distribution control, which 
is programmed to maintain optimum levels of 
comfort within the vehicle in all but the most 
severe climatic conditions.
While the controls can be adjusted manually to 
satisfy individual requirements, allowing the 
system to function automatically (in Auto 
mode) is by far the simplest method of 
operation for the owner and is preferable in 
most operating...

3. Defrost mode
If the windscreen is misting or 
covered in ice, press to activate the 
automatic defrost programme; the 
system will immediately direct its output to 
achieve maximum screen clearing by:
•setting the blower speed and temperature to 
maximum.
•distributing air flow to the screen only.
•deactivating the rear blower.
•deactivating air recirculation.
In addition, the rear and front screen heaters 
will be switched on (or their timed operating 
cycle will recommence...

8. Air conditioning control
With the engine running, press the 
button to manually activate the air 
conditioning, or to switch off the 
air conditioning if it has been previously 
selected (manually or automatically).
9. Air recirculation
Air recirculation prohibits the entry 
of air from outside the vehicle, 
alternatively recirculating the air 
inside the vehicle instead. This is useful to 
prevent the entry of traffic fumes.
NOTE: On some vehicles, there is also a remote 
air...

GENERAL NOTES
•For optimum operating efficiency, ensure all 
the air vents (including those in the rear of 
the vehicle) are open.
•For the automatic temperature control 
system to function efficiently, all windows 
(and the sunroof) should be closed, and the 
air intake vents free from ice, snow, leaves 
or other debris.
•In very humid conditions, slight screen 
misting may be experienced when the air 
conditioning system is turned on. This is a 
natural occurrence on most...
