Use air conditioning with recirculated air
to improve cooling performance and
efficiency.
Note:
In certain conditions, for example,
maximum defrost, the air conditioning
compressor may continue to operate even
though you switch off the air conditioning.
Switching the Climate Control On
and Off Press and release the button.
Switching Maximum Air
Conditioning On and Off Turn the temperature control
counterclockwise to the lowest
setting for maximum cooling.
Switching Maximum Defrost On
and Off Turn the temperature control
clockwise to the highest setting
for maximum defrosting.
You can also use this setting to defog and
clear the windshield of a thin covering of
ice.
Note: To prevent window fogging, you
cannot select recirculated air when
maximum defrost is on.
Switching Recirculated Air On and
Off Press and release the button 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. Note:
Recirculated air may turn off, or
prevent you from switching it on, in all air
flow modes except MAX A/C to reduce the
risk of fogging. Recirculation may also turn
on and off in various air distribution control
combinations during hot weather in order
to improve cooling efficiency.
