Passenger heated seat control (if equipped): Press to
activate/deactivate the passenger heated seat. See Heated seats in the
Seating and Safety Restraints chapter.
11.
Recirculated air: Press to activate/deactivate air recirculation
in the vehicle. Recirculated air may reduce the amount of time needed to
cool down the interior of the vehicle and may also help reduce undesired
odors from reaching the interior of the vehicle. Recirculated air engages
automatically when MAX A/C is selected or can be engaged manually in
any airflow mode except
(defrost). Recirculated air may turn off
automatically in all airflow modes except MAX A/C. When the ignition
switch is turned off and back on, the climate system will return to the
recirculated air mode only if the A/C button LED is illuminated and the
air distribution selection is either
(panel) or (panel/floor).
Recirculation may turn off automatically in some airflow modes to reduce
fog potential.
12. MAX A/C: Distributes recirculated air through the instrument panel
vents to cool the vehicle. This re-cooling of the interior air is more
economical and efficient. Recirculated air may also help reduce
undesirable odors from entering the vehicle. Press the MAX A/C button
again for normal A/C operation.
13. A/C: Press to activate/deactivate air conditioning. Use with
recirculated air to improve cooling performance and efficiency. Engages
automatically in MAX A/C,
(defrost) and (floor/defrost).
14.
Driver heated seat control (if equipped): Press to

between Fahrenheit and Celsius, see Message center in the Instrument
Cluster chapter.
