Recirculation control
(air recirculation) — The recirculation feature is used to
manually select whether the DATC system uses outside or recirculated
air. The use of recirculated air when the air conditioning is operating
helps to reduce the amount of time to cool down the interior of the
vehicle in very hot conditions. Recirculated air may also help to keep
unwanted odors from the outside from reaching the vehicle interior. It is
recommended to allow the DATC system to automatically control the
selection of outside or recirculated air.
The recirculation mode cannot be selected in the defrost mode, as
interior fogging may occur. When the recirculation and floor/defrost
override modes are selected, the DATC system will automatically return
to outside air to help reduce window fogging.
In AUTO mode, the air recirculation feature will operate automatically.
However, the air recirculation indicator will be off. The selection of the
air recirculation override control will automatically enable a manual
airflow override.
DO NOT leave the DATC system in recirculated air mode for extended
periods of time while the system is in a heating mode or in cold or damp
conditions as this may cause interior fogging of the front, side and rear
windows.
In AUTO mode, the air conditioner will operate automatically. When the
fan is adjusted in the AUTO mode, the AUTO indicator will remain lit,
and the system will remain in A/C operation.
