Recirculation Control

Press this button to choose between outside air
intake or recirculation of the air inside the
vehicle. A LED will illuminate when you are in
Recirculation mode. Only use the Recirculation

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 Defrost mode the Recirculation LED
indicator will flash three 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 Recirculation

mode will cause windows to fog on the inside because
of moisture buildup inside the vehicle. For maximum
defogging, select the outside air position.

• The A/C can be deselected manually without disturbing

the mode control selection by pressing the A/C button.

Air Outlets

The airflow from each of the instrument panel outlets can
be adjusted for direction, and turned on or off to control
airflow.

NOTE:

For maximum airflow to the rear, the center

instrument panel outlets can be directed toward the rear
seat passengers.

Economy Mode

If ECONOMY mode is desired, press the A/C button to
turn off the LED indicator and the A/C compressor.
