RECIRCULATION mode. Only use the RECIRCULA-
TION 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 MIX, DEFROST, or FLOOR mode the
RECIRCULATION LED indicator will flash 3 times 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 RECIRCULA-
TION mode will cause windows to fog on the inside
because of moisture buildup inside the vehicle. For
maximum defogging, select the outside air position.
• In order to prevent fogging, when the RECIRCULA-
TION button is pressed and the mode control is set to
PANEL, the A/C will engage automatically.
• The A/C can be deselected manually without disturb-
ing the mode control selection.
8. Air Conditioning (A/C) Button
Press and release to change the current setting.
The indicator illuminates when the A/C is ON.
NOTE: If your air conditioning performance seems
lower than expected, check the front of the A/C con-
denser (located in front of the radiator), for an accumu-
lation of dirt or insects. Clean with a gentle water spray
from behind the radiator and through the condenser.
Fabric front fascia protectors may reduce airflow to the
condenser, reducing air conditioning performance.
