windows. If dust thrown up by the ve-
hicle is still drawn into the vehicle after
closing the windows, it is recommended

road, or driving in windy and dusty
conditions, it is recommended that the
air intake selector be temporarily set to
RECIRCULATE, which will close off the
outside passage and prevent outside
air and dust from entering the vehicle
interior.Heating
