Recirculation Mode
The recirculation mode is only available on vehicles with air conditioning.
The recirculation mode limits the amount of outside air entering the cab. Press the recirculation button to prevent dusty or smoky air from entering the cab. The recirculation mode can also be used to decrease the time required to cool or heat the cab interior during extreme outside temperature conditions. When the recirculation mode is on, the recirculation indicator will illuminate. See Fig..
The recirculation mode is not available when the air selection switch is in one of the following modes:
-
floor/defrost mode
-
selection between floor/defrost mode and defrost mode
-
defrost mode
When the recirculation mode is turned on, it will stay on for 20 minutes, or until the recirculation button is pressed again, or the air selection switch is turned to a defrost mode.
