When driving on dusty roads, close all

hicle is still drawn into the vehicle after
closing the windows, it is recom-
mended that the air intake control le-
ver be set to the OUTSIDE AIR posi-
tion and the fan speed control knob
anywhere except the OFFº position.If following another vehicle on a dusty
road, or driving in windy and dusty con-
ditions, it is recommended that the air
intake control lever be temporarily set
to the RECIRCULATED AIR position,
which will close off the outside pas-
sage and prevent outside air and dust
from entering the vehicle interior.
The side vents may be opened or
closed as shown.
