Toyota 2008 Rav4 Owner's Manual page 284

If following another vehicle on a dusty
D
road, or driving in windy and dusty
conditions, it is recommended that the
air intake selector be temporarily set to
RECIRCULATE, which will close off the
outside passage and prevent outside
air and dust from entering the vehicle
interior.
CAUTION
To prevent the windshield from fog-
ging up, do not use the windshield
air flow button during cool air opera-
tion in extremely humid weather. The
difference between the temperature of
the outside air and that of the wind-
shield can cause the outer surface of
the windshield to fog up, blocking
your vision.
NOTICE
To prevent battery discharge, do not
leave the air conditioning system on
longer than necessary when the en-
gine is stopped.
