Maximum comfort


After sufficient cooling of the car, you can choose the most convenient fan operation mode for yourself and adjust the direction of the air flow as desired. If the interior is too cool, you can warm the air by turning the heater control to the right.

Reducing air humidity in modes "At the feet and on the windshield" And "Windshield"


When the air conditioner is running, the air humidity decreases.

It is recommended to turn it on in humid weather or if the outside temperature is above +4°C. The operating modes of the heater and fan can be selected as desired.

Do not use the internal air circulation mode, as this will reduce the defrost rate of the windshield.

Ventilation with internal air when the air conditioner is off


Ventilation with internal air is advisable to use when the air is heavily polluted, but the windows fog up faster. So you should switch to outdoor ventilation or air conditioning as soon as possible.
