where the outside temperature is approximately freezing or higher, the
engine will run continuously in this mode.

system. When the system is off, outside air is shut out. Turn to manually
increase/decrease the fan speed. The manual fan speed setting will
appear on the left side of the display. Press AUTO to return to full
automatic control.

9. Passenger temperature: Press to engage/disengage separate
passenger side temperature control. Turn to increase/decrease the
temperature on the passenger side of the vehicle. The recommended
initial setting is between 72°F (22°C) and 75°F (24°C), then adjust for
comfort. The passenger side temperature setting will appear in the upper
right corner of the display.
10. Passenger heated seat control (if equipped): Press to
activate/deactivate the passenger heated seat. See Heated seats in the
Seating and Safety Restraints chapter.
11. Recirculated air: Press to activate/deactivate air recirculation
in the vehicle. Recirculated air may reduce the amount of time needed to
cool down the interior of the vehicle, may reduce the energy needed to
keep the interior of the vehicle cool, and may also help reduce undesired
outside odors from reaching the interior of the vehicle. Recirculated air
is controlled automatically when AUTO is selected or can be engaged
manually in any airflow mode except
(defrost). Recirculated air
may turn off automatically in some airflow modes to reduce window
fogging potential. When the ignition switch is turned off and back on, the
climate system will return to the recirculated air mode only if the A/C
button LED is illuminated and the air distribution selection is either
AUTO,
(panel) or (panel/floor).
