Operation Tips
- To keep dust or unpleasant fumes

the ventilation system, temporarily
set the air intake control to the

position when the irritation has
passed to keep fresh air in the
vehicle. This will help keep the driver
alert and comfortable.

ahead of the windshield. Care
should be taken that these are not
blocked by leaves, snow, ice or
