cool down the interior of the vehicle and may also help reduce undesired
odors from reaching the interior of the vehicle. Recirculated air engages
automatically when MAX A/C is selected or can be engaged manually in
any airflow mode except
(defrost). Recirculated air may turn off
automatically in some airflow modes to reduce fog potential. 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 AUTO,
(panel) or
(panel/floor).

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
