9 Warning  
The exchange of fresh air is  
reduced in air recirculation mode.  
In operation without cooling the air  
humidity increases, so the  
windows may mist up from inside.  
The quality of the passenger  
compartment air deteriorates,  
which may cause the vehicle  
occupants to feel drowsy.  
Briefly open the windows so that hot  
air can disperse quickly.  
In warm and very humid ambient air  
conditions, the windscreen might mist  
up from outside, when cold air is  
directed to it. If windscreen mists up  
from outside, activate windscreen  
wiper and deactivate s.
