Outside (fresh) air positionThe indicator light on the but- ton is not illumimated whenthe outside (fresh) air posi-tion is selected. With the outside (fresh) air position selected, air enters
the vehicle from outside andis heated or cooled accordingto the function selected.✽✽NOTICE
It should be noted that prolonged oper-
ation of the heating in recirculated airposition will cause fogging of the wind-shield and side windows and the air
within the passenger compartment willbecome stale.
In addition, prolonged use of the air
conditioning with the recirculated air
position selected, will result in excessive-
ly dry air in the passenger compart-ment. WARNING
Continued climate control system operation in the recirculated air
position may allow humidity to
increase inside vehicle which may
fog the glass and obscure visibility.
Do not sleep in a vehicle with air conditioning or heating system on.
It may cause serious harm or death
due to a drop in the oxygen 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 tothe outside (fresh) air position as
much as possible while driving.
