²When the ignition switch is turned OFF, the recircula-
tion feature will be cancelled.
²In cold weather, use of the Recirculation mode may

and will reset to outside air mode when the ignition key
is turned ON. The frequent use of outside air will help
keep odors from building up within the air conditioner-
heater housing. It is recommended that the recirculation
mode be used as little as possible, especially in humid
climates.
For hot and dry climates, or people who are allergic to
pollen and find frequent use of the recirculation mode
necessary, the recirculation mode can be programmed to
not automatically reset to the outside mode by using the
following procedures:
²Turn the ignition switch to the OFF position.
