from entering the vehicle through
the ventilation system, temporarily
set the air intake control to the
recirculated air position. Be sure to

vehicle. This will help keep the driv-
er alert and comfortable.

ahead of the windshield. Care
should be taken that these are not
blocked by leaves, snow, ice or
other obstructions.
To prevent interior fog on the wind- shield, set the air intake control to
the fresh air position and fan speed
