Climate Control System Air Conditioning (A/C) Button Recirculation Button Rear Window Defogger Button This button turns the air conditioning on and off. You will see A/C ON or A/C OFF in the display. When you turn the A/C off, the system cannot regulate the inside temperature if you set the temperature control below the outside temperature. When the recirculation indicator is on, air from the vehicle's interior is sent throughout the system again. Select recirculation mode when driving through dusty or smoky conditions, then return to fresh air mode. Fresh Air Button This button turns the rear window defogger off and on (see page 123 ). On U.S. EX models and all Canadian models Pushing this button also turns the power mirror heaters on and off. Features The outside air intakes for the climate control system are at the base of the windshield. Keep this area clear of leaves and other debris. When the fresh air indicator is on, air is brought in from the outside of the vehicle. The system should be left in fresh air mode under almost all conditions. Keeping the system in recirculation mode, particularly with the A/C off, can cause the windows to fog up. CONTINUED 163 2010 Insight
