WARNING
Stale air causes driver fatigue and reduces driver alertness,
which can cause accidents, collisions and serious personal in-
jury.
Never use air recirculation mode over an extended period of
time, since no fresh air will enter the passenger compartment.
When the air conditioner is off and recirculation mode is on,
condensation can quickly form on the windows and greatly re-
duce visibility.
Always switch off recirculation mode when it is not needed.
