(Outside air): Press this button, located
under the fan knob, to use outside air. Using outside
air will limit stale air odors and help to prevent
excessively humid interior air (from wet boots or
clothing or maximum passenger loads) from being
redirected onto windows.
Pressing the outside air button will cancel the
recirculation button.
