NOTE:
Continuous use of the Recirculation mode may make the
inside air stuffy and window fogging may occur. Ex-
tended use of this mode is not recommended.
The use of the Recirculation mode in cold or damp
weather could cause windows to fog on the inside,
because of moisture buildup inside the vehicle. Select the
outside air position for maximum defogging.
Recirculation can be used in all modes except for Defrost.
The A/C can be deselected manually without disturbing
the mode control selection.
