• 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
put the system in recirculation mode. This can
be used when outside conditions such as
smoke, odors, dust, or high humidity are pres-

ent. 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 could 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 panel / floor.

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

ing the mode control selection.

• When the ignition switch is turned to the LOCK

position or the ignition switch START/STOP button is
cycled to OFF, the recirculation feature will be can-
celled.
