WARNING! Limited Visibility

Continuous use of the climate control system in recirculation mode may increase humidity inside the vehicle, which may cause the windows to fog up and reduce visibility.

WARNING: Recirculated Air

Continued use of the climate control system in the recirculation position may cause drowsiness, and loss of vehicle control. Set the intake control to the outside (fresh) air position as much as possible while driving.

WARNING: Sleeping with the Air Conditioner On

Do not sleep in the vehicle with the air conditioning or heating on, as this may result in serious injury or death due to decreased oxygen levels and/or body temperature.
