Using the system in the fresh air position is recommended.

Prolonged operation of the heater in the recirculated air position (without air conditioning selected) can cause fogging of the windshield and side windows and the air within the passenger compartment will become stale.

In addition, prolonged use of the air conditioning with the recirculated air position selected will result in excessively dry air in the passenger compartment.

To prevent serious injury or death:

  • Continued climate control system operation in the recirculated air position may allow humidity to increase inside the vehicle that could fog the windshield and the side windows and obscure visibility.

  • Do not sleep in a vehicle with the air conditioning or heating system on.

  • The cabin air filter should be replaced per every 12 months (except Europe) or 24 months (for Europe) to maximize performance of the clean air system.

  • If the vehicle is being driven in an inner-city area with high air pollution or severe conditions such as dusty or rough roads or the indoor fine dust concentration is not presented as Good on the screen due to prolonged heavy fine dust, more frequent cabin air filter changes are required than per 12 months (except Europe) or 24 months (for Europe).

    • Driving in an inner-city area with high air pollution

    • Frequently driving on dusty or rough roads

    • Prolong air pollution such as fine dust

  • We recommend using genuine cabin air filter to maintain the optimal performance of the clean air system.

  • The dust concentration level measured inside the vehicle is in real-time. The measured value differs from the dust concentration in the atmosphere.

  • The displayed level may differ depending on the measurement method or location. The displayed levels are for reference only.
