A(Fan): Turn the left knob clockwise to increase
the fan speed or counterclockwise to decrease
the fan speed. To turn the fan off, turn the left knob
all the way counterclockwise. In any setting
other than off, the fan will run continuously with
the ignition on. The fan must be turned on to run
the air conditioning compressor. There will be
some airflow noticeable from the various outlets
when driving, even with the fan in the off position.
This is to ensure some fresh air is always
available in the vehicle. Turning the fan from off to
on may force the engine into the start/stop mode.
See “Air Conditioning and Engine Start/Stop”
later in this section.
Temperature Control: Turn the center knob
clockwise to increase or counterclockwise
to decrease the temperature inside your vehicle.
@(Recirculate): Press this button to toggle
between recirculate and outside air modes.
The indicator light turns on when the recirculate
mode is selected. This mode can be used to
prevent outside air and odors from entering your
vehicle or to help heat or cool the air inside
your vehicle more quickly. Avoid using the
recirculate mode during high periods of humidity
or cool outside temperatures since this may result
in increased window fogging. If window fogging
is experienced, select the defrost mode.
Recirculation mode is not available in floor, defog,
or defrost modes and will shut off automatically
and change to outside air until a mode other than
floor, defog, or defrost is selected. This helps
prevent window fogging and moisture building up
within the cabin.
