Recirculation
Press this switch to engage the recirculation function (air in the passenger compartment recirculates - no
fresh air enters the compartment). The LED in the switch will light up to indicate that the function is
engaged.
· Use this function if the outside air is contaminated with exhaust gases, smoke, etc or to heat/cool the
car quickly.
· Recirculation should not be used for more than 15 minutes. If your windows begin to fog or mist, make
sure that the recirculation function is switched off.
· Selecting Defroster automatically switches recirculation off.
· Timer function: (cars equipped with the optional Interior Quality system do not have the timer
function) Pressing and holding the switch for at least 3 seconds activates a timer function. The LED in
the switch will flash for approximately 5 seconds. Recirculation will then always operate for periods of 5
to 12 minutes, depending on the ambient temperature, after which it will switch off automatically.
Pressing the switch at any time during the recirculation period will disengage the function and allow
fresh air into the passenger compartment.
Press and hold the switch again for at least 3 seconds to return the button to its original function (i.e.,
recirculation will remain on until you switch it off).
Blower control
Turn the control clockwise to increase or counterclockwise to decrease the blower speed. Pressing the
AUTO switch will automatically regulate blower speed and override manual adjustment.
NOTE: Turning the blower control counterclockwise as far as possible (an LED next to the control will
light up) will turn both the blower and the air conditioning off.
