conditioning selected) may cause fog-
ging of the windshield and side windows
and the air within the passenger com-
partment may become stale.

ditioning with the recirculated air posi-
tion selected will result in excessively dry
air in the passenger compartment.
WARNING
• Continue using the climate con-
trol system in the recirculated air
position may allow humidity to
increase inside the vehicle which
may fog the glass and obscure vis-
ibility.
• Do not sleep in a vehicle with 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.
• Continue using the climate con-
trol system in the reciruclated air
position can cause drowsiness or
sleepiness, and loss of vehicle
control. Set the air intake control to
the outside (fresh) air position as
much as possible while driving.
