ciency and to reduce the probability
of fogging up the inside of the wind-
shield.

shield to fog up, causing loss of
visibility could cause an acci-
dent resulting in serious injury
or death. In this case, set the
mode selection knob or button
to the position and fan
speed control knob or button to
