Air Conditioning Operation
Press this button to enable the air conditioning
system. Compressor operation is automatic when
you press the AUTO button and no snowflake is
shown. A snowflake indicates that the A/C system is
enabled. The snowflake will not be displayed in AUTO
mode even though the A/C system is enabled.
The compressor may operate at any temperature above
32°F (0°C).
Recirculate Button
The Hybrid vehicle automatically uses a range of recir-
culation from all outside air to full recirculation (vehicle
cabin air) to improve air conditioning efficiency. To
request additional outside air push the recirculation
button to turn the recirculation indicator on, then push
the button again to cycle the indicator off. This will
provide more fresh air to the cabin. Press the auto button
to return to efficiency recirculation.
INSTRUMENT PANEL AND CONTROLS 35
Press the RECIRC button to recirculate the air
inside the vehicle. Outside air is temporarily
prevented from entering the vehicle. Use this
mode to block out any outside odors, smoke,
dust or when rapid cooling of the interior is required.
Manual control of recirculation is possible only in Panel,
Floor, and Bi-Level modes. It will not operate in Mix, or
Defrost modes. The recirculation symbol will flash three
times indicating recirculation is not available in these
modes.
NOTE: If the interior of the windows begin to fog, press
the RECIRCULATE button to return to outside air. Some
conditions will cause captured interior air to fog win-
dows when in recirculate mode. In the auto mode the
humidity sensor may move the recirc setting to outside
air to automatically clear the windows of fog.
