Outside air {Indicator light (A) OFF}

Recirculated air {Indicator light (A) ON}
When the air conditioning turns on, the air selection is con-
trolled automatically.
The air selection indicator light (A) shows the selected posi-
tion.
NOTE
When the air conditioning operates with the air selection
switch (A) in the outside air position, the system automat-
ically determines whether to continue using outside air or
to perform recirculation.
If the outside temperature is high, the system selects recir-
culation to achieve rapid cooling and causes the air selec-
tion indicator in the switch to illuminate. Press the air
selection switch to return to outside air.
If the outside air is dusty or contaminated in some way, use the
recirculation position. Switch to the outside air position every
now and then to keep the windows from fogging up.NOTE
While the mode selection dial is set to the “ ” position,
the air conditioning compressor will run automatically.
The outside air position will also be selected automati-
cally. (In this case, the air conditioning indicator will not
change.)
CAUTION
!
Using recirculated air for a long time may cause the
windows to fog up.
