Operation CHARM: Car repair manuals for everyone.

RECIRC (Recirculate)

The main function of the RECIRC button is to limit the amount of outside air that is brought into the vehicle by activating the air inlet valve. When the driver presses the RECIRC button, the RECIRC LED illuminates and the system closes the recirculate door.

The driver may not activate both VENT and RECIRC at the same time.

The RECIRC button has no effect on the system when the FRONT DEFROST mode is selected.

RECIRC operates for approximately 10 minutes before deactivation. The driver may also deactivate the RECIRC function by changing to a manual mode.

When the RECIRC button is pressed with the system OFF, the blower, mode and compressor are set to automatic control.
