comes on. Air is recirculated to quickly cool the inside of the vehicle or
prevent outside air and odors from entering.
Automatic Air Recirculation:

The climate control system may have a sensor to detect air pollution.
In auto recirculation control, the Air Quality Control system may operate. To adjust the sensitivity of the Air Quality Control, see “Climate and Air Quality” under Vehicle Personalization.
Auto Defog: The climate control system may have a sensor to automatically detect high humidity inside the vehicle. When high humidity is detected, the climate control system may adjust to outside air supply and turn on the air conditioner. If the climate control system does not detect possible window fogging, it returns to normal operation. To turn Auto Defog off or on, see “Climate and Air Quality” under Vehicle Personalization.
(Outside Air): Press to turn on outside air. An indicator light comes
on. Outside air is circulated through the vehicle.
