C. Fan speed: Touch + or - to increase or decrease the volume of air
circulated in your vehicle.
Note: When the system is controlling the fan speed automatically, all
the fan speed indicators turn off.
D. Recirculated air: Touch the button to switch between outside air
and recirculated air. When you select recirculated air, the air currently in
the passenger compartment recirculates. This may reduce the time
needed to cool the interior (when used with A/C) and may reduce
unwanted odors from entering your vehicle.
Note: Recirculated air may turn off automatically (or be prevented
from turning on) in all airflow modes except MAX A/C to reduce risk
of fogging. Recirculated air may also turn on and off automatically in
Panel or Panel and Floor airflow modes during hot weather in order
to improve cooling efficiency.
E. MAX A/C: Touch the button to maximize cooling. Recirculated air
flows through the instrument panel vents, air conditioning automatically
turns on, and the fan automatically adjusts to the highest speed.
F. A/C: Touch the button to switch the air conditioning compressor on or
off. Use air conditioning with recirculated air to improve cooling
performance and efficiency.
Note: In certain conditions (such as when using Max Defrost), the air
conditioning compressor may continue to operate even after you
switch off the air conditioning with the A/C button
G. AUTO: Touch the button to switch on automatic operation. Select the
desired temperature using the temperature control. The system adjusts
fan speed, air distribution, air conditioning operation, and selects outside
air or recirculated air to heat or cool the vehicle in order to maintain the
desired temperature. You can also use the AUTO button to switch off
dual zone operation by touching and holding the button for more than
two seconds.
H. Heated rear window: Turns the heated rear window on and off. See
Heated windows and mirrors in the Climate Control chapter.
I. Defrost: Touch the button to distribute air to the windshield vents
and de-mister. Air distribution to instrument panel and footwell vents
turn off. You can use this setting to defog and clear the windshield of a
thin covering of ice.
