186 UNDERSTANDING YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL The system will automatically control recirculation. However, pressing this button will temporarily put the system in recirculation mode (ten minutes). This can be used when outside conditions such as smoke, odors, dust, or high humidity are present. This will cause the LED to illuminate. After ten minutes the system will return to normal AUTO mode function and the LED will turn off. NOTE: • The surface of the climate control panel, and the top center of the instrument panel should be kept free of debris due to the location of the climate control sensors. Mud on the windshield may also cause poor operation of this system. • Most of the time, when in Automatic operation, you can temporarily put the system into recirculation mode by pressing the Recirc button. However, under certain conditions in automatic the system is blowing air out of the defrost vents. When these conditions are present and the Recirc button is pressed the indicator will flash and remain off. This tells you that you are unable to go into recirculation mode at this time. If you would like to go to Recirculation mode, you must first move your mode knob to panel, panel/floor or floor, then hit the recirc button. This feature will reduce the possibility of window fogging. Manual Operation This system offers a full complement of manual override features which consist of Blower Preferred Automatic, Mode Preferred Automatic, or Blower and Mode Preferred Automatic. This means the customer can override the blower, the mode, or both. There is a manual blower range used when the AUTO setting is not desired. The left control can be set to any fixed blower speed by rotating the knob. NOTE: Please read the Automatic Temperature Control Operation Chart below for details.
