WARNING
• The continuous use of recirculated
air in the climate control system
may increase humidity inside the
vehicle, causing the glass to fog
and obscuring visibility.
• Do not sleep in a vehicle with the
air conditioning or heating system
on. It may cause serious harm or
death due to a drop in the oxygen
level and/or body temperature.
• The continuous use of recirculated
air in the climate control system
can produce drowsiness or sleepi-
ness, which may result in a loss of
vehicle control. Set the air intake
control to the outside (fresh) air
position as much as possible while
driving.
