Vents, Heating, and A/C Fan Control Dial Turn this dial to increase or decrease the fan speed and airflow. Temperature Control Dial Turning this dial clockwise increases the temperature of the airflow. Air Conditioning (A/C) Button If equipped Recirculation Button When the recirculation indicator is on, air from the vehicle's interior is sent throughout the system again. When the indicator 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.

Switch to recirculation mode when driving through dusty or smoky conditions, then return to fresh air mode.
