If following another vehicle on a dusty
road, or driving in windy and dusty
conditions, it is recommended that the
air intake be temporarily set to RECIR-
CULATE, which will close off the out-
side passage and prevent outside air
and dust from entering the vehicle inte-
rior.
CAUTION
To prevent the windshield from fog-
ging up, do not select the windshield
air outlets during cool air operation
in extremely humid weather. The dif-
ference between the temperature of
the outside air and that of the wind-
shield can cause the outer surface of
the windshield to fog up, blocking
your vision.
NOTICE
To prevent battery discharge, do not
leave the air conditioning system on
longer than necessary when the en-
gine is stopped.
