Switching between outside air and
recirculated air modes
U7003AASLY
Each time you push the air intake control
button, the mode changes in order from
the RECIRCULATED AIR mode to OUT-
SIDE AIR mode, then back to the RECIR-
CULATED AIR mode. Each indicator light
shows which mode is now selected.
1RECIRCULATED AIR mode
—If
quick circulation of cooled air is de-
sired, select this mode.
2OUTSIDE AIR mode — The system
will take fresh outside air into the ve-
hicle.
For normal use, it is the best to keep the air
intake control button set to OUTSIDE AIR
mode. If recirculated air is used during
heating, the windows will fog up more easi-
ly. (d) Defogging the windshield
The air conditioning system operates
automatically.
Recirculated air mode will automatically
switch to outside air mode. It is not pos-
sible to return to recirculated air mode
when the switch is on.
CAUTION
To prevent the windshield from fog-
ging up
Do not use the windshield air flow
button during cool air operation in
extremely humid weather. The differ-
ence between the temperature of the
outside air and that of the windshield
can cause the outer surface of the
windshield to fog up, blocking your
vision.
