The air intake control button is used to
select either Fresh mode (outside air) or
Recirculation mode (cabin air).
Recirculated air position
The indicator light on the
button illuminates when
the recirculated air
position is selected.
With the recirculated air
position selected, air from
the passenger
compartment will be
drawn through the climate
control system and heated
or cooled according to the
function selected.
Outside (fresh) air position
The indicator light on the
button will turn off when
the outside (fresh) air
position is selected.
With the outside (fresh) air
position selected, air
enters the vehicle from
outside and is heated or
cooled according to the
function selected.
i
Information
Operating the system primarily in Fresh
mode is recommended. Use Recirculation
mode temporarily only when needed.
Prolonged operation of the heater in
Recirculation mode and without the A/C
ON can cause fogging of the windshield.
In addition, prolonged use of the A/C
ON in Recirculation mode may result in
excessively dry, dehumidified air in the
cabin and may promote formation of
musty vent odor due to stagnant air.
WARNING
• Continued use of the climate control
system operation in the recirculated
air position can cause drowsiness
or sleepiness, that may cause loss
of vehicle control resulting in an
accident. Set the air intake control to
the outside (fresh) mode as much as
possible while driving.
• Continued use of the climate
control system operation in the
recirculated air position (without
the air conditioning selected) may
allow humidity to increase inside the
vehicle which may fog the glass and
obscure visibility.
• Do not sleep in a vehicle with air
conditioning or heating system on. It
may cause serious harm or death due
to a drop in the oxygen level and/or
body temperature.
