NOTICE
Prolonged operation of the heater in
the recirculated air position (with-
out air conditioning selected) may
cause fogging of the windscreen and
side windows and the air within the
passenger
compartment may
become stale.
In addition, prolonged use of the air
conditioning with the recirculated

excessively dry air in the passenger
compartment.
WARNING
• The continuous use of recir-
culated air in the climate con-
trol 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 seri-
ous harm or death due to a
drop in the oxygen level
and/or body temperature.
• The continuous use of recir-
culated air in the climate con-
trol system can produce
drowsiness or sleepiness,
which may result in a loss of
vehicle control. Set the air
intake control to the outside
(fresh) air position as much as
possible whilst driving.
