Dodge 2009 Journey - Manual (Page 289)

NOTE: This setting works best in cold or snowy condi-
tions that require extra heat to the windshield. This
setting is good for maintaining comfort while reducing
moisture on the windshield.
• Defrost
Air is directed through the windshield and side
window demist outlets. For vehicles equipped
with a three-zone system, air is directed through the floor
outlet in the right quarter trim panel, unless the climate
control for the rear passengers is ON and in Panel mode.
NOTE: Use this mode with maximum blower and
temperature settings for best windshield and side win-
dow defrosting.
• Recirculation Control
Use this button to block the flow of outside air
from coming into the passenger compartment.
NOTE:
• Only use the Recirculation mode as a temporary
means to block out any outside odors, smoke, or dust,
and to cool the interior rapidly upon initial start up in
very hot or humid weather.
• 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 build-up inside the vehicle. Select
the outside air position for maximum defogging.
