Recirculated air position
If you press the air intake
control button once (recir-
culate), almost all outside
air flow into the vehicle is
shut off, and air within the
vehicle will be recirculated.
This position can be used
temporarily for maximum
heating or cooling (if
equipped with an air condi-
tioning) and to help pre-
vent undesirable outside
air flow into the vehicle.
Outside (fresh) air position
If you press the air intake
control button again, the
air position will be changed
to outside (fresh) air and
air will enter the ventilation
system from outside the
vehicle. Use this position
for normal ventilation and
heating.
To reduce the probability of fogging
up the inside of the windshield, the air
intake control is set to the outside
(fresh) air position automatically if
any of following occur.
• The mode is selected to the
,
or while the system is activated.
• The ignition switch is turned off.
• The fan is off.
Press the air intake control button to
select the recirculated air position
while the ignition switch is on.

Continued climate control sys-
tem operation in the recirculat-
ed air position may allow
humidity to increase inside the
vehicle which may fog the glass
and obscure visibility.
WARNING
Don’t sleep in a vehicle with air
conditioning system or heating
system on. It may cause serious
harm or death to passengers
due to a drop in the oxygen
level and/or body temperature.
