•Air Conditioner Control
Press this button to turn on the air
conditioning during manual operation
only. When the air conditioning is
turned on, cool dehumidified air will
flow through the outlets selected with
the Mode control dial. Press this but-
ton a second time to turn OFF the air
conditioning. An LED in the button illuminates when
manual compressor operation is selected.
• Recirculation Control
The system will automatically control recircu-
lation. However, pressing the Recirculation
Control button will temporarily put the system
in recirculation mode. This can be used when
outside conditions such as smoke, odors, dust, or high
humidity are present. Activating recirculation will cause
the LED in the control button to illuminate. NOTE:
•
When the ignition switch is turned to the LOCK
position, the recirculation feature will be cancelled.
• In cold weather, use of the Recirculation mode may
lead to excessive window fogging. The Recirculation
mode is not allowed in defrost, in order to improve
window clearing. Recirculation will be disabled auto-
matically if Defrost is selected.
•
Extended use of recirculation may cause the windows to
fog. If the interior of the windows begins to fog, press the
Recirculation button to return to outside air. Some temp/
humidity conditions will cause captured interior air to
condense on windows and hamper visibility. For this
reason, the system will not allow Recirculation to be
selected while in defrost. Attempting to use the recircu-
lation while in Defrost will cause the LED in the control
button to blink and then turn off.
