 Information
Operating the system primarily in Fresh 
mode is recommended. Use Recirculation 
mode temporarily only when needed.
Prolonged operation of the heater in 
Recirculation mode and without the A/C 
ON can cause fogging of the windshield.
In addition, prolonged use of the A/C 
ON in Recirculation mode may result in 
excessively dry, dehumidified air in the 
cabin and may promote formation of 
musty vent odor due to stagnant air.
 WARNING
•  Continued use of the climate control 
system operation in Recirculation 
mode for a prolonged period of 
time may cause drowsiness to the 
occupants in the cabin. This may lead 
to loss of vehicle control which may 
lead to an accident.
•  Continued use of the climate control 
system operation in Recirculation 
mode with the A/C OFF may allow 
humidity to increase inside the cabin.
This may cause condensation to 
accumulate on the windshield and 
obscure visibility.
•  Do not sleep in your vehicle or 
remain parked in your vehicle with 
the windows up and either the 
heater or the air conditioning ON for 
prolonged periods of time. Doing so 
may increase the levels of carbon 
dioxide in the cabin which may lead 
to serious injury or death.
