When driving on dusty roads, close all
windows. If dust thrown up by the ve-
hicle is still drawn into the vehicle after
closing the windows, it is recommended
that the air intake selector be set to
FRESH and the fan speed selector to

If following another vehicle on a dusty
road, or driving in windy and dusty

air intake selector be temporarily set to
RECIRCULATED, which will close off
the outside passage and prevent out-
side air and dust from entering the
vehicle interior.
When turning the temperature selector
fully to the left–“Max.cool” position,
cold air comes out from the center
vents in spite of the position of the air
