recirculated air mode button to the recirculated air mode. This is effective in pre-
venting outside air from entering the vehicle interior. During cooling operation, set-
ting the recirculated air mode will also cool the vehicle interior effectively.

perature setting or the inside temperature.
■When the outside temperature exceeds 75°F (24°C) and the air conditioning sys-
tem is on
