conditioning system will automatically
turn on to decrease the humidity inside
the vehicle, even if the temperature is set
to warm.

partment will become stale.
In addition, prolonged use of the air con-
ditioning with the “recirculated air posi-
tion” selected, will result in excessively
dry air in the passenger compartment.

operation in the recirculated air
position may allow humidity to
increase inside vehicle which
may fog the glass and obscure

level and/or body temperature.
Continued climate control system operation in the reciruclated air
position can cause drowsiness or
sleepiness, and loss of vehicle
control. Set the air intake control
