outside air and odors from entering your vehicle or
to help heat or cool the air inside your vehicle more
quickly. Press this button to turn the recirculation
mode on or off. The air-conditioning compressor also
comes on.
Recirculation is not available in the defrost mode and
will automatically turn off after 10 minutes when defog

the air inside your vehicle to become too dry or stuffy.
To prevent this from happening, after the air in your
vehicle has cooled, turn the recirculation mode off.
