manually in any airflow mode except
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.
6. MAX A/C: Distributes recirculated air through the instrument panel

the vehicle. Press the MAX A/C button again for normal A/C operation.
