Outside air {Indicator light (A) OFF}

trolled automatically.
When the air conditioning turns off, the air selection automati-
cally goes back to the outside air position.
The air selection indicator light (A) shows the selected posi-
tion.
NOTE
When the air conditioning operates with the air selection
switch in the outside air position, the system automati-
cally determines whether to continue using outside air or
to perform recirculation.
If the outside temperature is high, the system selects recir-
culation to achieve rapid cooling and causes the air selec-
tion indicator in the switch to illuminate. When the air
conditioning turns off or the blower speed selection dial is
set to the “OFF” position, the air selection automatically
goes back to the outside air position.
If the outside air is dusty or contaminated in some way, use the
recirculation position. Switch to the outside air position every
now and then to keep the windows from fogging up.
CAUTION
!
Using recirculated air for a long time may cause the
windows to fog up.
