Controls and features EXT F F C F A/C AUTO OFF R • Recirculation control (air recirculation) - Used to manually enable or disable the operation of the recirculated air operation in all modes except defrost. The use of recirculated air when the air conditioning is operating helps to reduce the amount of time to cool down the interior of the vehicle in very hot conditions. Recirculated air may also help to keep undesired outside odors from reaching the vehicle interior. It is recommended to allow the DATC system to automatically control the selection of outside or recirculated air. The recirculation control cannot be selected in the defrost mode, as interior fogging may occur. In floor and floor/defrost modes, the DATC system will automatically return to outside air to help reduce window fogging. When the recirculation air control is selected, the amount of time in manual recirculated air depends on the ambient temperature. When AUTO is selected, the recirculated air feature operates automatically for existing conditions. You may override the automatic recirculated air operation at any time. To manually control the recirculated air operation and cancel automatic recirculated air operation, press the recirculated air control. When the recirculated air is manually controlled in the AUTO mode, the AUTO indicator light will remain lit. To return to full automatic recirculated air operation, press AUTO. Do not leave the DATC system in recirculated air operation for extended periods of time while the system is in a heating mode or in cold/damp conditions as this may cause interior fogging of the front, side and rear windows. 37
