vehicle using outside air. To improve air conditioning when starting your
vehicle, drive with the windows slightly open for two to three minutes.
Use A/C with recirculated air to improve cooling performance and
efficiency.
Note: A/C turns on automatically in MAX A/C, Defrost and Floor/Defrost.

recirculated air. When the LED on the button is lit, the air currently in
the passenger compartment is being recirculated. Using recirculated air
can reduce the time needed to cool the interior and reduce unwanted
odors from entering your vehicle.
Note: Recirculated air engages automatically when MAX A/C is selected
or can be turned on manually in any airflow mode except Defrost.
F. PASS TEMP: Press and turn to increase or decrease the air

of air circulated in your vehicle.

heated seats off and on. See Heated seats in the Seats chapter for more

See Heated windows and mirrors later in this chapter for more
information. If your vehicle is equipped with heated mirrors, this button

demister vents. This setting can also be used to defog and clear the
windshield of a thin covering of ice.
