Controls and features Air conditioning control (if equipped) Press the control to turn on or off. The control light in the switch indicates operation. This mode can be used for air conditioning. It will only function if the temperature is about 4°C (40°F) or higher. For maximum A/C performance, press both A/C and recirculated air controls. Recirculated air control Press the control to toggle between outside air and recirculated air. The control light illuminates when the recirculated air function is activated. This mode should be used to reduce undesirable odors from entering the vehicle or to achieve maximum A/C performance. Operating Tips • In humid weather, select (Defrost) before driving. This will help to reduce fogging on your windshield. After a few minutes, select any desired position. • Do not put objects under the front seat that will interfere with airflow to the back seats. • Do not use recirculated air when defogging windows. 30
