instrument panel outlets, and then directs the remaining

floor outlets with some air directed to the outboard

: (Outside Air): Slide the lower right lever to the
right for outside air. With the lever in this position,
outside air will circulate throughout your vehicle.
? (Recirculation): Slide the lower right lever to the
left for recirculated air. With the lever in this position
outside air and odors can be prevented from entering
your vehicle and also helps heat or cool the air
inside your vehicle more quickly.
If the lever is in the middle of the two positions, you will
have both outside and recirculated air inside your
vehicle.
If you are in city traffic, your vehicle is stopped and
idling or the weather is hot, the system may be switched
from the outside air mode to the recirculation mode.
To help prevent the air inside of your vehicle from
becoming too stale, be sure to return to outside air
periodically.
