Use air conditioning with recirculated air to improve cooling performance
and efficiency.
E. Recirculated air: Press the button to switch between outside air and
recirculated air. When you select recirculated air, the air currently in the
passenger compartment recirculates. This may reduce the time needed
to cool the interior (when used with A/C) and may reduce unwanted

from turning on) in all airflow modes except MAX A/C to reduce the
risk of fogging.

temperature on the passenger side of the vehicle. This turns on dual

of air circulated in the vehicle.
