Air distribution control: Press to switch air flow from the windshield, instrument panel or footwell vents on or off. You can distributeair through any combination of these vents.D
MAX A/C: Press for maximum cooling. The driver and passenger settings set to LO, recirculated air flows through the instrumentpanel vents, air conditioning turns on and the fan adjusts to the highest speed.E
Passenger temperature control: Adjusts the temperature setting on the passenger side.F
Recirculated air: Press to switch between outside air and 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 reduce unwanted odors from entering your vehicle.G
Note: Recirculated air may turn off (or prevent you from switching on) in all air flow modes except MAX A/C to reduce the risk offogging. Recirculation may also turn on and off in Panel or Panel/Floor air flow modes during hot weather in order to improve coolingefficiency.
A/C: Press to switch the air conditioning on or off. Use A/C with recirculated air to improve cooling performance and efficiency.H
