dehumidified air in the cabin and may
promote formation of musty vent odor due
to stagnant air.

to loss of vehicle control which may
lead to an accident.
[ Continued use of the climate control
system operation in Recirculation
mode with the air conditioning 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
