■Air conditioning odors
●During use, various odors from inside and outside the vehicle may enter into

emitted from the vents.
●To reduce potential odors from occurring:

prior to turning the vehicle off.
• The start timing of the blower may be delayed for a short period of time immediately after the air conditioning system is started in automatic mode.
CAUTION
■To prevent the windshield from fogging up

ference between the temperature of the outs ide air and that of the windshield can
cause the outer surface of the windshield to fog up, blocking your vision.
