: (Outside Air): Press the right side of this button to turn the outside air mode on. When this mode is selected, air from outside the vehicle will circulate throughout your vehicle.

Pressing this button will cancel the recirculation mode. Pressing this button cancels the auto recirculation feature. Each time the vehicle is started, the system will revert to the auto recirculation function. If you select recirculation while in defrost, defog or floor, the light on the button will flash three times and go out to let you know this is not allowed. This is to prevent window fogging. When the weather is cool or damp, operating the system in recirculation for extended periods of time may cause fogging of the vehicle's windows. To clear the fog, select either defog or defrost. Make sure the air conditioning is on. You will want to allow the air conditioning to run automatically to help dehumidify the air. ? (Recirculation): Press the left side of the button to turn the recirculation mode on. When recirculation mode is selected, the air inside the vehicle will be recirculated through the climate control system and the vehicle, not from outside your vehicle. This mode is helpful when you are trying to limit odors from entering your vehicle and for maximum air conditioning performance in hot weather. When the button is pressed, an indicator light above the button will come on to let you know that it is activated. The recirculation indicator light will blink three times if you try to use recirculation in a mode that it can not be used in. Only use this mode when it is needed for comfort, since window fogging will rapidly occur if the air conditioning compressor is not engaged. xw (Temperature Control): Press the up and down arrows to increase or decrease the temperature inside the vehicle. # (Air Conditioning): Press this button to turn the air conditioning compressor on and off.
