WARNING

■

To prevent the windshield from fogging up

●

Do not set 

 to 

 during cool air operation in extremely humid

weather. The difference between the temperature of the outside air and
that of the windshield can cause the outer surface of the windshield to fog
up, blocking your vision.

■

To prevent burns (vehicles with outside rear view mirror defoggers)
Do not touch the rear view mirror surfaces when the outside rear view mirror
defoggers are on.

NOTICE

■

To prevent battery discharge
Do not leave the air conditioning system on longer than necessary when the
engine is not running.

●

Do not place anything on the instrument
panel which may cover the air outlets.
Otherwise, air flow may be obstructed,
preventing the windshield defoggers
from defogging.
