on in all airflow modes except MAX A/C to reduce risk of fogging. Recirculated
air may also turn on and off automatically in instrument panel or instrument
panel and floor airflow modes during hot weather to improve cooling efficiency.
Temperature control:
Controls the temperature of the air circulated in your
vehicle. Adjust to select the desired temperature. If you select MAX A/C, the
