    Outside or recirculated air positions can be 
selected. Press the switch to select outside/
recirculated air positions.

  Recirculated air position (indicator light

    Outside air is shut off. Use this position 
when going through tunnels, driving in 
congested traffi c (high engine exhaust 
areas) or when quick cooling is desired.

  Outside air position (indicator light 
turned off)

    Outside air is allowed to enter the 
cabin. Use this mode for ventilation or 
windshield defrosting.

WARNING

  Do not use the 

 position in cold or 

rainy weather:

  Using  the 

 position in cold or rainy 

weather is dangerous as it will cause 
the windows to fog up. Your vision will 
be hampered, which could lead to a 
serious accident.
