conditioning with the recirculated air
position selected will result in exces-
sively dry air in the passenger com-

allow humidity to increase
inside the vehicle which may
fog the glass and obscure vis-

system on. It may cause seri-
ous harm or death due to a
drop in the oxygen level
and/or body temperature.
Continuous operation of the
