any airflow mode except
(defrost). Recirculated air may turn off
automatically in all airflow modes except MAX A/C. When the ignition
switch is turned off and back on, the climate system will return to the
recirculated air mode only if the A/C button LED is illuminated and the
air distribution selection is either
(panel) or (panel/floor).
Recirculation may turn off automatically in some airflow modes to reduce
fog potential.

vents to cool the vehicle. This re-cooling of the interior air is more
economical and efficient. Recirculated air may also help reduce
undesirable odors from entering the vehicle. Press the MAX A/C button
again for normal A/C operation.
