Vents, Heating, and A/C Fan Control Turn this dial to increase or decrease the fan speed and airflow. Temperature Control Turning this dial clockwise increases the temperature of the airflow. Air Conditioning (A/C) Button This button turns the air conditioning on and off. The indicator in the button is on when the A/C is on. MAX A/C Button The system automatically turns on the A/C and switches to recirculation mode (see page 128 to use this setting). Air flows from the center and side vents in the dashboard. Pressing the , A/C, or any of the mode buttons cancels MAX A/C, but the A/C stays on. Recirculation Button When the recirculation indicator is on, air from the vehicle's interior is sent throughout the system again. When the indicator is off, air is brought in from the outside of the vehicle (fresh air mode). The outside air intakes for the heating and cooling system are at the base of the windshield. Keep this area clear of leaves and other debris. 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. Switch to recirculation mode when driving through dusty or smoky conditions, then return to fresh air mode. Rear Window Defogger Button / This button turns the rear window defogger on and off (see page 76 ). Except U.S. LX, LX-P and SE Pushing this button also turns the power mirror heaters on and off.
