Acura 2011 RL - Manual (Page 213)

The outside air intakes for the
climate control system are at the
base of the windshield. Keep this
area clear of leaves and other debris.
The system should be left in fresh
air mode under almost all conditions.
Keeping the system in recirculation
mode, particularly with the A/C off,
can cause the windows to fog up.
Switch to recirculation mode when
driving through dusty or smoky
conditions, then return to fresh air
mode.
This button turns the windshield
defroster on and off.
You can select the vents air flows
from. Some air will flow from the
dashboard corner and side vents in
all modes.
When you push this button, air flows
from the defroster vents at the base
of the windshield, and the system
automatically switches to fresh air
mode and turns on the A/C. When
the indicator in the button is on, the
passenger’s temperature cannot be
set separately from the driver’s.
When the indicator in the button is
on, air from the vehicle’s interior is
sent throughout the system again.
When the indicator is off, air is
brought in from the outside of the
vehicle (fresh air mode).
Pushing this button also turns the
power mirror heaters on and off.
This button turns the rear window
defogger on and off (see page
). 147
