Features of your vehicle
Controlling air intake
This is used to select the outside (fresh)
air position or recirculated air position.
Type A/Type B
OKA4040339
To change the air intake control position:
僅 Push the desired control button.
Recirculated air position
With the recirculated air posi-
tion selected, air from the
passenger compartment will
be drawn through the heating
system and heated or cooled according
to the function selected.
Outside (fresh) air position
Type A
With the outside (fresh) air position
selected, air enters the vehicle from out-
side and is heated or cooled according
to the function selected.
Prolonged operation of the heater in the
recirculated air position (without air con-
ditioning selected) may cause fogging of
the windscreen and side windows and
the air within the passenger compart-
ment may become stale.
In addition, prolonged use of the air con-
ditioning with the recirculated air posi-
tion selected will result in excessively dry
air in the passenger compartment.
僅 Continued climate control system
operation in the recirculated air posi-
tion may allow humidity to increase
inside the vehicle which may fog the
glass and obscure visibility.
僅 Do not sleep in a vehicle with the air
conditioning or heating system on. It
may cause serious harm or death due
to a drop in the oxygen level and/or
body temperature.
僅 Continued climate control system
operation in the recirculated air posi-
tion can cause drowsiness or sleepi-
ness, and loss of vehicle control. Set
the air intake control to the outside
(fresh) air position as much as possi-
ble whilst driving.
Type B
Automatic climate control system
