NOTE:
•
Continuous use of the Recirculation
mode may make the inside air stuffy and
window fogging may occur. Extended use
of this mode is not recommended.
•
The use of the Recirculation mode in cold
or damp weather will cause windows to
fog on the inside, because of moisture
buildup inside the vehicle. Select the out-
side air position for maximum defogging.

The A/C will engage automatically to pre-
vent fogging when the recirculation but-
ton is pressed and the mode control is set
to Panel or Bi-Level.
