to add washer fluid to the washer fluid
reservoir.

the vehicle is driven close to
objects, particularly pedestrians,
and especially children.

Continued use of the climate con-
trol system operation in the recir-
culated air position can cause
drowsiness or sleepiness, that
may cause loss of vehicle control

tem on. It may cause serious
injury or death due to a drop in
the oxygen level and/or body
temperature.
