Interior Air Quality System–IAQS*This system consists of a multifilter and an air quality sensor. The filter helps remove gasesand particles from the incoming air, therebyreducing the amounts of odors and contami-nants entering the vehicle. The air quality sen-sor detects increased levels of contaminantsin the outside air. When the air quality sensordetects contaminated outside air, the airintake closes and the air inside the passenger compartment is recirculated, i.e., no outsideair enters the vehicle. The filter also cleansrecirculated passenger compartment air.When the
AUTO button is depressed the air
quality sensor is always engaged. Activate or deactivate this function in
