recirculated air position (without air con-
ditioning selected) may cause fogging of
the windshield and side windows and the
air within the passenger compartment
may become stale.
In addition, prolonged operation of the air
conditioning with the recirculated air
position selected will result in excessive-
ly dry air in the passenger compartment.
OUB041109WARNING - Recirculated
air
Continuous use of the climate con-
trol system in the recirculated air
position can cause drowsiness or
sleepiness, and loss of vehicle con-
trol. Set the air intake control to the
outside (fresh) air position as much
as possible while driving.
WARNING - Reduced visi-
bility
Continuous use of the climate con-
trol system in the recirculated air
position may allow humidity to
increase inside the vehicle which
may fog the glass and obscure vis-
ibility.
