NOTE
 When the air conditioning operates with the air selection switch (A) in the outside air position, the system automatically deter-mines whether to continue using outside air or to perform recirculation. If the outside temperature is high, the systemselects recirculation to achieve rapid cooling and causes the air selection indicator in the switch to illuminate. When the air condition-ing turns off or the blower speed selection dial is set to the “OFF” position, the air selection automatically goes back to the out-side position.

 While the mode selection dial is set between “ ” and “ ” position, you cannot turn the air conditioning off or select the recircu- lation position. This prevents the windowsfrom fogging up.  To defog quickly, direct
the air flow from the
side vents toward the door windows.  When defrosting, do not set the temperature control dial near the “MAX A/C” cool posi- tion. This will blow cool air on the windowglass and fog it up.
