NOTE
When the dial is placed in the “”

“” position, the air
conditioner compressor
operates automatically regardless
of the position of the air conditioner
button to defog the windshield

the air conditioner button will not
illuminate. At the same time, the air
inlet selection is automatically set to
“outside air” mode.
In this state, you cannot select “recirculation” mode by manually pressing the air inlet selection button.
