Unlocking the vehicle using an electronic key and turning the engine switch to IGNI-

TION ON mode will recall that key's registered air conditioning settings.
When the engine switch is turned off, the current air conditioning settings will automat-

ically be registered to the electronic key that was used to unlock the vehicle.

Outside/recirculated air mode
■
When driving on dusty roads such as tunnels or in heavy traffic, set the outside/recircu-
●
lated air mode button to the recirculated air mode. This is effective in preventing out-
side air from entering the vehicle interior. During cooling operation, setting the
recirculated air mode will also cool the vehicle interior effectively.
Outside/recirculated air mode may automatically switch depending on the tempera-
●
ture setting or the inside temperature.
When the outside temperature exceeds 75F (24C) and the air conditioning system
■
is on
In order to reduce the air conditioning power consumption, the air conditioning system
●
may switch to recirculated air mode automatically. This may also reduce fuel consump-
tion.
Recirculated air mode is selected as a default mode when the engine switch is turned to
●
IGNITION ON mode.
It is possible to switch to outside air mode at any time by pressing
●
RC350/RCF_U (OM24636U)
