RECIRC: This setting recirculates much of the 
air inside your vehicle. This setting is not permitted 
in FRONT defrost mode and is only permitted in
WINDSHIELD/FLOOR mode if the compressor 
is turned on. The indicator light will be lit when
recirculation is engaged, but will light briefly and 
then turn off if selected when not permitted.

Operating the climate control system in the RECIRC
mode may cause fogging of the vehicles windows when
the weather is cold and damp. To clear the fog, switch
the system to either WINDSHIELD/FLOOR or
WINDSHIELD mode and increase the fan speed. 
To avoid re

fogging of the windows, operate the 

system with RECIRC disengaged.
