Buick 2007 LaCrosse - Manual (Page 170)

You can also select modes by using the
following buttons:
h
(Recirculate): Press this button to recirculate
cabin air through the vehicle. It can be used to
help reduce the outside air and odors that
enter your vehicle or to help heat or cool the air
inside your vehicle quicker. An indicator light below
the button will come on in this mode. Operation
in this mode during periods of high humidity
and cool outside temperatures may result in
increased window fogging. If window fogging is
experienced, select the defrost mode. To prevent
the air inside the vehicle from becoming stale,
after five minutes recirculate will allow some
outside air into the vehicle.
# (Air Conditioning): Press this button to turn
the air conditioning system on or off. When
this button is pressed, an indicator light below the
button will come on to let you know the air
conditioning is activated. Air conditioning can be
selected in any mode as long as the fan switch is
on. The indicator light will change with each
button press even when conditions prevent
operation.
On hot days during the vehicle’s initial start-up,
open the windows to let hot inside air escape; then
close them. This helps to reduce the time it
takes for the vehicle to cool down. It also helps
the system to operate more efficiently.
For quicker cool down on hot days, do the
following:
1. Select the vent air mode.
2. Select the recirculation mode.
3. Select the air conditioner.
4. Select the coolest temperature.
5. Select the highest fan speed.
The air conditioning system removes moisture
from the air, so you may sometimes notice a
small amount of water dripping underneath your
vehicle while idling or after turning off the
engine. This is normal.
Using these settings together for long periods
of time may cause the air inside the vehicle to
become too dry. To prevent this, after five minutes
recirculate will allow some outside air into
the vehicle.
