? (Recirculation): Press the left side of the button to turn the recirculation mode on. An indicator light comes on to show that it is on. The air inside the vehicle is recirculated through the climate control system and throughout the vehicle, not from outside. This helps to limit the odors entering the vehicle and maximize air conditioning performance. The indicator light flashes three times if you try to use recirculation in a mode that it can not be used in. Use this mode only when it is needed for comfort, since window fogging occurs if the air conditioning compressor is not engaged. Press ? to cancel the outside air mode. When you switch to the defog or defrost modes the system automatically moves from recirculation to outside air. When the vehicle or fan is turned off and back on, the system automatically defaults to outside air. Maximum Air Conditioning On hot days, open the windows to let hot inside air escape; then close them. This helps to reduce the time it takes for the vehicle to cool down. It also helps the system to operate more efficiently. For quick cool down on hot days, do the following: 1. Select the C vent mode. 2. Select the highest fan speed. 3. Select 4. # air conditioning. Select the ? recirculation mode. 5. Select the coolest temperature. Using these settings together for long periods of time can cause the air inside of the vehicle to become too dry. To prevent this from happening, after the air in the vehicle has cooled, turn the recirculation mode off. # (Air Conditioning): Press to turn the air conditioning system on or off. An indicator light comes on to indicate that the air conditioning is on. The air conditioning system removes moisture from the air, so sometimes a small amount of water drips under the vehicle while it is idling or after the engine is turned off. This is normal. 3-22
