CAUTION
Lengthy and uneven distribution of the air flow out of the vents (especially
around the feet) and large differences in temperature, for example, when getting
out of the vehicle, can cause susceptible individuals to catch a cold.
Automatic recirculated air mode
Recirculated air mode largely prevents polluted air from outside the vehicle get- ting into the vehicle, for example, when driving through a tunnel or when stand-

INDUSTRY CANADA Statements
Le présent appareil est conforme aux CNR d'Industrie Canada applicables aux
appareils radio exempts de licence. L'exploitation est autorisée aux deux
conditions suivantes : (1) l'appareil ne doit pas produire de brouillage, et (2)
l'utilisateur de l'appareil doit accepter tout brouillage radioélectrique subi, même
si le brouillage est susceptible d'en compromettre le fonctionnement.
Phonebox
The vehicle body partially interferes with the telephone signal and makes use of
the mobile telephone somewhat more difficult in regions with a weak signal. The
current consumption and the telephone battery discharges more quickly.
To reduce the effects of these defects, an induction plate is located on the bot-
tom of the stowage compartment in the centre console » Fig. 68 on page 74. The
induction plate generates a induction field for the telephone signal which is direc- ted to the plate on the roof aerial where it is amplified.
The mobile phone kept in the stowage compartment with the underside on the
induction plate can use a signal boosted by around 20 %.
As a result:
› the sending and receiving power of the telephone is improved;
› the discharge of the phone battery is reduced;
› the electromagnetic radiation is reduced in the vehicle interior.
