WARNING

■

To prevent the windshield from fogging up

●

Do not use 

 during cool air operation in extremely humid weather. The

difference between the temperature of the outside air and that of the wind-
shield 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.
