headrest, push and hold the release
button (
➁) on the headrest support
and lower the headrest to the desired
position (➂). For best protection,
adjust the headrest so its center is as

Outside (fresh) air positionThe indicator light on the button is
illuminated when the outside (fresh)
air position button is depressed.
With the outside (fresh) air position
selected, air enters the vehicle from
outside and is heated or cooled
according to the function selected.
When starting the vehicle, the sys-
tem is automatically set to the out-
side (fresh) air position. Press the
button once to select the recirculated
air position.
✽ ✽NOTICEIt should be noted that prolonged
operation of the heating in recircu-
lated air position will cause fogging
of the windshield and side windows
and the air within the passenger
compartment will become stale.
In addition, prolonged use of the air
conditioning with the “recirculated
air position” selected, will result in
excessively dry air in the passenger
compartment.
WARNING
Continued climate control
system operation in the recir-
culated air position may allow
humidity to increase inside
vehicle which may fog the
glass and obscure visibility.
 Do not sleep in a vehicle with
air conditioning or heating
system on. It may cause seri-
ous harm or death due to a
drop in the oxygen level
and/or body temperature.
 Continued climate control
system operation in the
reciruclated air position can
cause drowsiness or sleepi-
ness, and loss of vehicle con-
trol. Set the air intake control
to the outside (fresh) air posi-
tion as much as possible
while driving.
