Dodge 2009 Caravan - Manual (Page 307)

Recirculation Control
Press this button to choose between
outside air intake or recirculation of
the air inside the vehicle. A lamp will
illuminate when you are in RECIRCU-
LATION mode. Only use the RECIR-
CULATION mode to temporarily
block out any outside odors, smoke, or
dust, and to cool the interior rapidly upon initial start-up
in very hot or humid weather.
NOTE:
• If the RECIRCULATION button is pressed when the
system is in MIX, DEFROST, or FLOOR mode the
RECIRCULATION LED indicator will flash 3 times
and then turn off to indicate RECIRCULATION mode
is not allowed.
• Continuous use of the RECIRCULATION mode may
make the inside air stuffy and window fogging may
occur. Extended use of this mode is not recommended.
• In cold or damp weather, the use of the RECIRCULA-
TION mode will cause windows to fog on the inside
because of moisture buildup inside the vehicle. For
maximum defogging, select the Outside Air position.
• In order to prevent fogging, when the RECIRCULA-
TION button is pressed and the mode control is set to
PANEL, the A/C will engage automatically.
• The A/C can be deselected manually without disturb-
ing the mode control selection.
Air Outlets
The airflow from each of the instrument panel outlets can
be adjusted for direction, and turned on or off to control
airflow.
