the recirculated air mode is used for an
extended period.
●Switching between outside air and recir-
culated air modes
• Recirculated air mode or outside air
mode may be automatically switched
in accordance with the temperature
setting and the inside temperature.
●When the outside temperature exceeds
75F (24C) and the air conditioning sys-
tem is on
• In order to reduce the air conditioning
power consumption, the air condition-
ing system may switch to recirculated
air mode automatically. This may also
reduce fuel consumption.

default mode when the “ENGINE
START STOP” switch is turned to
IGNITION ON mode.
