very hot conditions. Recirculated air may also help to keep undesired
outside odors from reaching the vehicle interior. It is recommended to
allow the DATC system to automatically control the selection of outside
or recirculated air.
The recirculation control cannot be selected in the defrost mode, as
interior fogging may occur.
In floor and floor/defrost modes, the DATC system will automatically
return to outside air to help reduce window fogging. When the
recirculation air control is selected, the amount of time in manual
recirculated air depends on the ambient temperature.
When AUTO is selected, the recirculated air feature operates
automatically for existing conditions. You may override the automatic
recirculated air operation at any time. To manually control the
recirculated air operation and cancel automatic recirculated air
operation, press the recirculated air control. When the recirculated air is
manually controlled in the AUTO mode, the AUTO indicator light will
remain lit. To return to full automatic recirculated air operation, press
AUTO.
Do not leave the DATC system in recirculated air operation for extended
periods of time while the system is in a heating mode or in cold/damp
conditions as this may cause interior fogging of the front, side and rear
windows.
Manual override controls
The manual override controls allow you to manually determine where
airflow is directed. To return to fully automatic control, press AUTO.
When a manual airflow override control is selected, the DATC system will
turn off the AUTO indicator and display the indicators of all operating
override controls. More than one override control indicator may turn on
when an override control is selected.
