There are four ventilation outlets located on the dashboard. Two are placed in the middle and one on each side.

The B-pillars are also equipped with ventilation outlets.

The outlets are adjustable so that air can be restricted, blocked or guided in the appropriate direction.

If the side outlets are directed toward the side windows, this helps to keep the windows free from mist.
