Only use the Recirculation mode to temporarily block out
any outside odors, smoke, or dust, and to cool the interior
rapidly upon initial start-up in very hot or humid
weather.
NOTE:
•If the Recirculation button is pressed when the system
is in Defrost mode the Recirculation LED indicator will
flash three times to indicate Recirculation mode is not
allowed.
•Continuous use of the Recirculation mode may make
the inside air stuffy and window fogging may occur.
Extended use of this mode is not recommended.
•In cold or damp weather, the use of the Recirculation
mode will cause windows to fog on the inside because
of moisture buildup inside the vehicle. For maximum
defogging, select the outside air position.
•To prevent fogging, when the Recirculation button is
pushed and the mode control is set to Panel, the A/C
will engage automatically.
•The A/C can be deselected manually without disturb-
ing the mode control selection.
