Normally, use the outside air position to keep the windshield
and side windows clear and to quickly remove fog or frost
from the windshield.

switch. A sound will be made every time you press the switch.

Outside air {Indicator light (A) OFF}
Outside air is introduced into the passenger compartment.

Recirculated air {Indicator light (A) ON}
Air is recirculated inside the passenger compartment.When the air conditioning turns on, the air selection is con-
trolled automatically. When the air conditioning turns off, the
air selection automatically goes back to the outside air position.
If high cooling performance is desired, or if the outside air is
dusty or contaminated in some way, use the recirculation posi-
tion. Switch to the outside air position every now and then to
keep the windows from fogging up.
NOTE
If the mode selection dial is set between “ ” and “ ”,
you cannot turn the air conditioning off or select the recir-
culation position.
This prevents the windows from fogging up.

When the mode selection dial or the blower speed selec-
tion dial is set to the “AUTO” position again after manual
operation, the air selection switch will also be automati-
cally controlled.
CAUTION
!
Using recirculated air for a long time may cause the
windows to fog up.
