Recirculated air:

Press the button to switch between outside air and

recirculated air. When you select recirculated air, the air currently in the

passenger compartment recirculates. This may reduce the time needed to cool

the interior (when used with

A/C

) and may reduce unwanted odors from

entering your vehicle.

Note:

Recirculated air may turn off automatically (or be prevented from turning

on) in all airflow modes except

MAX A/C

to reduce risk of fogging. Recirculated

air may also turn on and off automatically in

Panel

Panel and Floor

airflow

modes during hot weather in order to improve cooling efficiency.

HINTS ON CONTROLLING THE

INTERIOR CLIMATE

General Hints

Note:

Prolonged use of recirculated air may

cause the windows to fog up.

Note:

You may feel a small amount of air

from the footwell air vents regardless of the

air distribution setting.

Note:

To reduce humidity build-up inside

your vehicle, do not drive with the system

switched off or with recirculated air always

switched on.

Note:

Do not place objects under the front

seats as this may interfere with the airflow

to the rear seats.

Note:

Remove any snow, ice or leaves from

the air intake area at the base of the

windshield.

Note:

To improve the time to reach comfort

in hot weather, drive with the windows fully

open until you feel cold air through the air

vents.

Manual Climate Control

Note:

To reduce fogging of the windshield

during humid weather, adjust the air

distribution control to the windshield air

vents position.

Automatic Climate Control

Note:

Adjusting the settings when your

vehicle interior is extremely hot or cold is

not necessary. The system automatically

adjusts to heat or cool the cabin to your

selected temperature as quickly as possible.

For the system to function efficiently, the

instrument panel and side air vents should

be fully open.

Note:

If you select

AUTO

during cold

outside temperatures, the system directs

airflow to the windshield and side window

vents. In addition, the fan may run at a

slower speed until the engine warms up.

Note:

If you select

AUTO

during hot outside

temperatures, or when the inside of the

vehicle is hot, the system automatically uses

recirculated air to maximize interior cooling.

When the interior reaches the selected

temperature, the system automatically

switches to using outside air.
