Air Intake Control

Used to select the outside (fresh) air position or the recirculated air position.

To change the air intake control position, press the control button.

Recirculated Air Position

When the recirculation position is selected, air from the passenger compartment passes through the heating system and is heated or cooled depending on the selected function.

Outside (Fresh) Air Position

When the outside (fresh) air position is selected, outside air enters the vehicle and is heated or cooled depending on the selected function.

NOTICE

Running the heater in recirculation mode for a long time (without the air conditioner on) may cause the windshield and side windows to fog up, and the air inside the vehicle may become stale.

In addition, using the air conditioner in the recirculation position for a long time will cause the air inside the vehicle to become excessively dry.

WARNING

• Continued operation of the climate control system in the recirculated air position may increase humidity inside the vehicle, which may cause the glass to fog and reduce visibility.
• Do not sleep in the vehicle with the air conditioner or heater on. This may result in serious injury or death due to a drop in oxygen level and/or body temperature.
• Continued operation of the climate control system in the recirculated air position may cause drowsiness or sleepiness, and loss of control of the vehicle. Set the air intake control to the outside (fresh) air position as much as possible while driving.
