when system is off.) 

The Recirculated Air Position:
Using the 

 position in cold or 

rainy weather will cause the glass to 
fog up. Your vision will be hampered, 
which could lead to a serious 
accident. Do not use the 

position in cold or rainy weather.

NOTE

When the air conditioner is operating 
and the temperature control is 
operated, the display will change to air 
conditioner setting temperature.
