CAUTION
l Normally, use the outside position to keep
the windscreen and side windows clear
and quickly remove fog or frost from the
windscreen.
If high cooling performance is desired, or
if the outside air is dusty or otherwise con-
taminated use the recirculation position.
Switch to the outside position periodically
to increase ventilation so that the win-
dows do not become fogged up.
l Use of the recirculation position for exten-
ded time may cause the windows to fog up.
NOTE
l When the mode selection dial or the blower
speed selection dial is set to the “AUTO” po-
sition again after manual operation, the air se-
lection switch will also be automatically con-
trolled.

a certain level, the air selection is automati-
cally switched to the recirculation position
and the indication lamp (A) comes on. At
this time, the system will not switch to the
outside position even if the air selection
switch is pushed.
