Driving your vehicle

It should be noted that prolonged
operation of the heating in recir-
culated air position will cause fog-
ging of the windshield and side
windows and the air within the
passenger compartment will
become stale.
In addition, prolonged use of the
air conditioning with the “recircu-
lated air position” selected, will
result in excessively dry air in the
passenger compartment.
