{Warning
Periodically turn to the outside air
mode for fresh air. The exchange
of fresh air is reduced in air
recirculation mode. In operation
without cooling the air humidity
increases, so the windows may
mist up. The quality of the
passenger compartment air
deteriorates, which may cause
the vehicle occupants to feel
drowsy.
In warm and very humid ambient air
conditions, the windscreen might
mist up from outside, when cold air
is directed to it. If windscreen mists
up from outside, activate
