Switching Between the Recirculation and Fresh Air Modes

button and switch the mode depending on environmental
conditions.
Recirculation Mode (indicator on): Recirculates air from the v ehicle’s interior through
the system.Fresh Air Mode (indicator off): Maintains outside ventilation. Keep the system in fresh air mode in normal situations.
Using Automatic Climate Control
If any buttons are pressed while using the climate control system in AUTO, the function of the button that was pressed will take priority.The AUTO indicator will go off, but functions unrelated to the button that was pressed will be controlled automatically. During the auto idle stop, the air conditioning system will be turned off.If the ECON mode is selected, the fan may also be turned off. To prevent cold air from blowing in from outside, the fan may not start immediately when the AUTO button is pressed. Once you have set the desired temperature, do not use the temperature control dial more than necessary.Doing so may delay the time it takes to reach the set temperature. If the interior is very warm, you can cool it down more rapidly by partially opening the windows, turning the system on AUTO, and setting the temperature to low. When you set the temperature to the lower or upper limit, Lo or Hi is displayed. Pressing the
button switches the climate
control system between on and off. The system selects your last selection.
