NOTE:

The air conditioning compressor operates in Mix,

Defrost, or a blend of these modes, even if the Air
Conditioning (A/C) button is not pressed. This dehu-
midifies the air to help dry the windshield. To improve
fuel economy, use these modes only when necessary.
Recirculation Control

Pressing the Recirculation Control button will
temporarily put the system in recirculation
mode. This can be used when outside condi-
tions such as smoke, odors, dust, or high

humidity are present. Activating recirculation will cause
the LED in the control button to illuminate.

NOTE:

• 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.

• The use of the Recirculation mode in cold or damp

weather will cause windows to fog on the inside,
because of moisture buildup inside the vehicle. Select
the outside air position for maximum defogging.

• The A/C will engage automatically to prevent fogging

when the recirculation button is pressed and the mode
control is set to panel or Bi-Level.

• Recirculated air is not allowed in Defrost modes. If the

Recirculation button is pressed while in Defrost mode,
the LED indicator will flash several times then go out.
Recirculation will be disabled automatically when
Defrost mode is selected.

• The A/C can be deselected manually without disturb-

ing the mode control selection.

• When the ignition switch is turned to the LOCK

position, the recirculation feature will be cancelled.
