Risk of accident due to impaired vision, resulting in serious personal injury or death.
In recirculating-air setting, the windows may fog up.
Switching recirculating-air mode on or off
AC OFF– switching the air-conditioning compressor on and off
The air conditioning compressor switches off automatically at temperatures below approx. 37 °F/3 °C and cannot be switched on, even manually.
Whenever outside temperatures exceed approx. 37 °F/3 °C, the air-conditioning compressor can be switched on or off manually.
The compressor can be switched off manual to save fuel.
To dry incoming air in damp weather, do not switch off the air-conditioning compressor.
This prevents fogging of windows.
