Air Flow Buttons Air Conditioning (A/C) Button On all models except EX-L and EX-V6, this button turns the air conditioning on and off. The light above the button is on when the A/C is on. On vehicles without the navigation system, press the A/C button to turn on the A/C. You will see A/C ON or A/C OFF in the display. On vehicles with the navigation system, press the A/C button to view the display. Touching ''ON'' or ''OFF'' in the display turns the air conditioning on and off. You will see A/C ON or A/C OFF in the display. EX-L and EX-V6 When you turn the A/C off, the system cannot regulate the inside temperature if you set the temperature control buttons below the outside temperature. Recirculation Button When the light in or above the button is on, air from the vehicle's interior is sent throughout the system again. When the light is off, air is brought in from the outside of the vehicle (Fresh Air mode). The outside air intakes for the heating and cooling system are at the base of the windshield. Keep this area clear of leaves and other debris. The system should be left in Fresh Air mode under almost all conditions. Keeping the system in Recirculation mode, particularly with the A/C off, can cause the windows to fog up. Switch to Recirculation mode when driving through dusty or smoky conditions, then return to Fresh Air mode. Rear Window Defogger Button This button turns the rear window defogger off and on (see page 77 ). Features 113
