·
Adjust the heating, Climate Control and
rear window heating to prevent the
windows from misting up.

Only set off once all windows are clear.
·
Use air recirculation mode for a short
period only. Condensation could other-
wise form on the windows very quickly
so that visibility is greatly reduced.
·
Switch off the air recirculation mode
when it is no longer required.
WARNING
Stale air can quickly make the driver tired
and
affect their concentration, which in
turn can cause collisions, accidents and
serious injuries.
·
Never switch off the blower or switch
on the air recirculation mode for an ex-
tended period as this prevents fresh air
from entering the vehicle interior.
NOTICE
Food, medicine and other items that are
sensitive to heat and cold could be either
damaged or rendered useless by the ema-
nating air.
·
Never leave food, medicines or other
temperature-sensitive objects in front of
the vents.
NOTICE
Do not insert any objects in the vent slots.
This could cause damage to the air outlets.
NOTICE
If the Climate Control system is not work-
ing, switch it off immediately to prevent
consequential damage. Have the Climate
Control system checked by a suitably quali-
fied workshop.
