dren and pets left inside the vehicle may suffer heatstroke or dehydra-
tion, or could result in death or serious injury.
• The wipers can be operated during system operation. Children or pets
left inside the vehicle may mistakenly operate these and cause an acci-
dent.

switch may transmit further than expected. Pay appropriate attention to
the vehicle’s surroundings and use the switch only when necessary.

ing fan.
