Recirculation Control

The fresh/recirculation control lever determines whether fresh outside air or recirculated passenger compartment air enters the vehicle's heater and ventilation system. A cable connects the control lever to the air inlet door that is located in the blower case. The recirculate position provides the quickest air delivery and is helpful in heating up the passenger compartment taster. Because the vehicle is equipped with a full-time outside air system, a small amount of outside air enters the passenger compartment regardless of control position. During normal heater operation use the fresh mode in order to prevent window togging.
