Air inlet selection button

Select airflow by pressing the air inlet selection button.

The selected air inlet setting is shown on the control panel.

(Recirculation): Interior air recirculates inside the passenger compartment.

Use this position when quickly cooling down the passenger compartment or to prevent outside air from entering the passenger compartment. When the recirculation mode is selected, a “” indicator light appears on the display.

(Outside air): Outside air is drawn into the passenger compartment. When the climate control system is operated in the “AUTO” mode, this position is selected automatically. (There is one exception:
When the temperature control dial is turned fully counterclockwise, the recirculation mode is automatically selected.) When the outside air mode is selected, a “” indicator light appears on the display.

Continued operation in the “” position may fog up the windows.

Switch to the “” position as soon as the outside dusty condition clears.

NOTE
When driving on a dusty road or behind a vehicle that emits unpleasant exhaust gases, set the air inlet selection button to the “” position. From time to time, return the air inlet selection button to the “” position to draw outside air into the passenger compartment.
