during hot summer days which may 

cause severe and fatal damages to 

the vehicle passengers.

4. Never use internal air circulation 

mode for a long time, because it will 

cause vaporization on windows and 

lack of oxygen within the cabin.

5. The comfort temperature is 

adjustable based on passenger’s 

desire (it is about 22 degrees in

summer and 26 degrees in winter).

6. When the vehicle is exposed to 

direct sunlight for a long time and the 

inside cabin temperature is so hot, 

try natural air ventilation by lowering 

down the windows for some minutes, 

and then, close the windows and 

power on A/C system.

7. In order for safety considerations of 

vehicle air vent system, power on A/C
