OPERATION
Outside air
Keep the air intakes forward of thewindscreen free from obstruction(snow, leaves etc.) to allow theclimate control system to functioneffectively.
Recirculated air
CAUTION
Prolonged use of recirculated airmay cause the windows to mistup. If the windows mist up, follow thesettings for defrosting and demistingthe windscreen.
The air currently in the passengercompartment will be recirculated.Outside air will not enter the vehicle.
Heating
Heating performance depends onthe temperature of the enginecoolant.
Air conditioning
Note:The air conditioning operatesonly when the temperature is above4ºC (39ºF).
