Climate Control System
Recirculation Button
When the indicator in the button is on,
air from the vehicle's interior is sent
throughout the system again. When the
indicator is off, air is brought in from the
outside of the vehicle (fresh air mode).
The outside air intakes for the climate
control system are at the base of the
windshield. Keep this area clear of leaves
and other debris.
The system should be left in fresh air
mode under almost all conditions.
Keeping the system in recirculation
mode, particularly with the A/C off, can
cause the windows to fog up.
Switch to recirculation mode when
driving through dusty or smoky
conditions, then return to fresh air mode.

defogger on and off (see page 132).
