Fogging up of the windows

windshield effectively.

The windows may fog up if the recirculated air mode is used.

Outside/recirculated air mode
When driving on dusty roads such as tunnels or in heavy traffic, set the out-
side/recirculated air mode button to the recirculated air mode. This is effec-
tive in preventing outside air from entering the vehicle interior. During cooling
operation, setting the recirculated air mode will also cool the vehicle interior
effectively.

mode prior to turning the vehicle off.
