WARNING

• The continuous use of recirculated

air in the climate control 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 serious harm or

death due to a drop in the oxygen

level and/or body temperature.

• The continuous use of recirculated

air in the climate control system

can produce drowsiness or sleepi‐
