entering the vehicle through the venti-
lation system, temporarily set the air
intake control to the recirculated air
position. Be sure to return the control

tion has passed to keep fresh air in the
vehicle. This will help keep the driver

taken that these are not blocked by
leaves, snow, ice or other obstructions.
