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.

conditioning system on (indicator
light will illuminate). Push the button

tem off.
WARNING - Recirculated
air
• Continued climate control
system operation in the recir-
culated air position may allow
humidity to increase inside
vehicle which may fog the
glass and obscure visibility.
• Continued climate control
system operation in the recir-
culated air position can result
in somewhat reduced oxygen
levels, causing drowsiness or
sleepiness, and loss of vehicle
control. Set the air intake con-
trol to the outside (fresh) air
position as much as possible
while driving.
