Kia Optima: Recirculated Air position - Automatic Heating and Cooling Control System - Driving Your Vehicle - Kia Optima MS/Magentis 2000-2005 Owners ManualKia Optima: Recirculated Air position

When the air intake control switch is depressed (switch indicator illuminates), almost all outside air flow into the vehicle is shut off and air inside the vehicle is recirculated.

This position can be used temporarily for maximum heating or cooling (if equipped with air conditioning) and to help prevent undesirable outside air flow into the vehicle.
