D.Recirculated air: Touch the button to switch between outside air
and recirculated air. When you select recirculated air, the air currently in
the passenger compartment recirculates. This may reduce the time
needed to cool the interior (when used with A/C) and may reduce
unwanted odors from entering your vehicle.
Note: Recirculated air may turn off automatically (or be prevented
from turning on) in all airflow modes except MAX A/Cto reduce risk
of fogging. Recirculated air may also turn on and off automatically in
Panel orPanel and Floor airflow modes during hot weather in order

G. AUTO: Touch the button to switch on automatic operation. Select the
desired temperature using the temperature control. The system adjusts
fan speed, air distribution, air conditioning operation, and selects outside

dual zone operation by touching and holding the button for more than
two seconds.

windshield, instrument panel, or footwell vents on or off. The system can
distribute air through any combination of these vents.
