temporarily is recommended in pre- venting dirty air from entering the vehicle interior and helping to cool the
vehicle when the outside air tempera- ture is high.

ing system to the outside air mode.

be emitted from the vents.
●It is recommended that the air condi-
tioning system be set to outside air mode prior to turning the vehicle off.
