Features of your vehicle
Outside (fresh) air position
With the outside (fresh) air posi-
tion selected, air enters the
vehicle from outside and is
heated or cooled according to
the function selected.
NOTICE
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.

operation in the recirculated air posi-
