Recirculated air:
Press to activate/deactivate air recirculation
in the vehicle. Recirculated air may reduce the amount of time
needed to cool down the interior of the vehicle, may reduce the
energy needed to keep the interior of the vehicle cool, and may also
help reduce undesired outside odors from reaching the interior of
the vehicle. Recirculated air is controlled automatically when AUTO
is selected or can be engaged manually in any airflow mode
except
(defrost). Recirculated air may turn off automatically in
some airflow modes to reduce window fogging potential. When the
ignition switch is turned off and back on, the climate system will
return to the recirculated air mode only if the A/C button LED is
illuminated and the air distribution selection is either
AUTO,
(panel) or
(panel/floor).
