Air Intake Control (4)
OQXI049309
The air intake control button is used to 
select either Fresh mode (outside air) or 
Recirculation mode (cabin air).
Recirculation mode
When Recirculation mode 
is selected, air from the 
passenger compartment will 
be recirculated through the 
system and heated or cooled 
according to the function 
selected.
Fresh mode
When Fresh mode is selected, 
air enters the vehicle from 
outside and is heated or 
cooled according to the 
function selected.
 Information
Using the system primarily in Fresh mode 
and Recirculation mode only when needed 
is recommended for best results.
Prolonged operation of the heater in 
Recirculation mode and without the A/C 
ON can cause fogging of the windshield.
In addition, prolonged use of the A/C 
ON in Recirculation mode may result in 
excessively dry, dehumidified air in the 
cabin.
