60 GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE
Recirculation Button
Press and release this button to change
the system between recirculation mode
and outside air mode. The Recirculation
indicator and the A/C indicator illuminate
when the Recirculation button is pressed.
Recirculation can be used when outside conditions
such as smoke, odors, dust, or high humidity are
present. Recirculation can be used in all modes.
Recirculation may be unavailable (button on the
touchscreen greyed out) if conditions exist that
could create fogging on the inside of the windshield.
The A/C can be deselected manually without
disturbing the mode control selection. Continuous
use of Recirculation mode may make the inside air
stuffy and window fogging may occur. Extended use
of this mode if not recommended.
AUTO Button
Press and release this button on the
touchscreen, or push the button on the
faceplate, to change the current setting.
The AUTO button automatically controls
the interior cabin temperature by adjusting
distribution and amount of airflow. Performing this
function will cause the system to switch between
manual mode and automatic modes. AUTO mode is
highly recommended for efficiency Ú page 65.
Front Defrost Button
Press and release the touchscreen
button, or push and release the button on
the faceplate, to change the current
airflow setting to Defrost mode. The Front
Defrost indicator illuminates when the Front Defrost

window demist outlets. When the defrost button is
selected, the blower level may increase. Use Defrost
mode with maximum temperature settings for best
windshield and side window defrosting and
defogging. When toggling the Front Defrost mode
button, the climate system will return to the
previous setting.
Rear Defrost Button
Press and release the button on the
touchscreen, or push and release the
button on the faceplate, to turn on the
