176 CLIMATE CONTROLS
The climate control system may have
a sensor to detect air pollution. When
using automatic air recirculation, the
air quality control system may
operate. To adjust the sensitivity of
the air quality sensor, see“Climate
and Air Quality” underVehicle
Personalization 0154.
@(Recirculation) : Press to
alternate between recirculating air
inside the vehicle or pulling in outside
air. The indicator light on the button
is lit when recirculation mode is
active. This helps to quickly cool the
air inside the vehicle and reduce the
entry of outside air and odors.
Pressing this button cancels automatic
recirculation. Press AUTO to return to
automatic operation; recirculation
runs automatically as needed.
Manual recirculation mode is not
available when in Defrost or Defog
modes.
Auto Defog : The climate control
system uses a sensor to automatically
detect high humidity inside the
vehicle. When high humidity is
detected, the climate control system
may adjust to outside air supply, turn on the air conditioner, and direct
more air to the windshield. If the
climate control system does not
detect possible window fogging, it
returns to normal operation. To turn
Auto Defog off or on, see
“Climate and
Air Quality” underVehicle
Personalization 0154.Rear Window Defogger

defogger turns off if the ignition is
turned to ACC/ACCESSORY or
LOCK/OFF.
The rear window defogger can be set
to automatic operation. When Auto
Rear Defog is selected, the rear
window defogger turns on
automatically when the vehicle is first
started in cold weather and turns off
when the vehicle is warmed. To turn
Auto Rear Defog on or off, see
“Climate and Air Quality” under
Vehicle Personalization 0154. The heated outside rearview mirrors
turn on when the rear window
defogger button is on and help to
clear fog or frost from the surface of
the mirrors.
Caution
Do not try to clear frost or other
material from the inside of the
front windshield and rear window
with a razor blade or anything else
