4. A/C: Press to activate/deactivate air conditioning. Use with
recirculated air to improve cooling performance and efficiency. A/C
engages automatically in MAX A/C,
(floor/defrost).
5. AUTO: Press to engage full automatic operation. Select the desired
temperature using the temperature control. The system will
automatically determine fan speed, airflow distribution, A/C on or off,
and outside or recirculated air, to heat or cool the vehicle to reach the
desired temperature.
6. MAX A/C: Distributes recirculated air through the instrument panel
vents to cool the vehicle. This re-cooling of the interior air is more
economical and efficient. Recirculated air may also help reduce
undesirable odors and dust/debris from entering the vehicle. Press the
MAX A/C button again for normal A/C operation.
7. PASS TEMP: Press to activate separate passenger temperature
control and turn the dial to increase/decrease the airflow temperature for
the passenger in the front of the vehicle.
8. Recirculated air: Press to recirculate the air in the vehicle.
Recirculated air may reduce the amount of time needed to cool down the
interior of the vehicle (when used with A/C) and may also help reduce
undesired odors and dust/debris from reaching the interior of the vehicle.
This button engages automatically when MAX A/C is selected or can be
engaged manually in any airflow mode except
button may turn off automatically in all airflow modes (except MAX A/C)
and when the ignition is cycled (if the A/C indicator light is not
illuminated ) in order to prevent window fogging. Even when this button
is not selected, air may still recirculate in some instances in order to
reduce vehicle warm-up time in cold conditions or to cool down time in
hot conditions. Note: You may notice changes in sound between
recirculated mode and other airflow modes.

heated seat. Refer to Heated seats in the Seating and Safety Restraints
