tained.
■Using automatic mode
Fan speed is adjusted automatically accord-
ing to the temperature setting and the 
ambient conditions.
Therefore, the fan may stop for a while until 
warm or cool air is ready to flow immedi-
ately after the automatic mode switch is 
pressed or “AUTO” is selected.
Cool air may blow around the upper body 
even when the heater is on due to sunlight.
■Automatic mode for air intake control (if 
equipped)
In automatic mode, the system detects 
exhaust gas and other pollutants and auto-
matically switches between outside air and 
recirculated air modes.
When the dehumidification function is off, 
and the fan is operating, turning automatic 
mode on will activate the dehumidification 
function.
This function automatically controls the 
air conditioning airflo w so that priority 
is given to the front seats. When the 
front passenger seat is not occupied, 
airflow may switch to only the driver's 
seat. Unnecessary air conditioning is 
suppressed, contributing to increased 
fuel efficiency.
Front seat concentrated airflow mode 
operates in the following situations.
 No passengers are detected in the 
rear seats

operation
The compass may not show the correct 
direction in the following conditions:
●The vehicle is stopped immediately after 
turning.
●The vehicle is on an inclined surface.
●The vehicle is in a place where the earth’s 
magnetic field is subject to interference 
by artificial magnetic fields (under-
ground car park/parking lot, under a 
steel tower, between buildings, roof car 
park/parking lot, near an intersection, 
near a large vehicle, etc.).
●The vehicle has become magnetized. 
(There is a magnet or  metal object near 
the inside rear view mirror.)

objects near the inside  rear view mirror.
Doing this may cause the compass sen-
sor to malfunction.
■To ensure normal operation of the 
compass
●Do not perform a circling calibration of 
the compass in a place where the 
earth’s magnetic field is subject to 
interference by artificial magnetic 
fields.
●During calibration, do not operate 
electric systems (moon roof, pan-
oramic moon roof, power windows, 
etc.) as they may interfere with the cal-
ibration.

■Deviation
The direction display deviates from the tr ue direction determined by the earth’s 
magnetic field. The amount of deviation  varies according to the geographic posi-
tion of the vehicle.
If you cross over a map boundary shown  in illustration, the compass will deviate.
To obtain higher precision or perfec t calibration, refer to the following.
■Deviation calibration
1 Stop the vehicle.
2 Press and hold the switch for 6 sec-
onds. A number (1 to 15) appears 
on the compass display.
3 Press the switch and, referring to 
the map above, select the number 
of the zone where you are.
If the direction is di splayed several seconds  after adjustment, the calibration is com-
plete.
■Circling calibration
1 Stop the vehicle in a place where it 
is safe to drive in a circle.
2 Press and hold the button for 9 sec-
onds.
“C” appears on the compass display.

WARNING
●Do not get any of the SRS components 
or wiring in the vehicle interior wet.
( P.30)
An electrical malfunction may cause 
the airbags to deploy or not function 
properly, resulting in death or serious 
injury.
●Vehicles with wireless charger: Do not 
let the wireless charger (
P.323) get 
wet. Failure to do so may cause the 
charger to become hot and cause 
burns or could cause electric shock 
resulting in death or serious injury.
■Cleaning the interior (especially 
instrument panel)
Do not use polish wax or polish cleaner. 
The instrument panel may reflect off the 
windshield, obstructing the driver’s view 
and leading to an accident, resulting in 
death or serious injury.
NOTICE
■Cleaning detergents
●Do not use the following liquids, as 
they may discolor the vehicle interior 
or cause streaks or damage to painted 
surfaces:
• Center Display: Organic substances  such as benzine or gasoline, alkaline 
solutions, and alcohol
• Seats: Alkaline solutions, organic sub- stances such as thinner or benzine, 
and alcohol
• Other parts: Organic substances such  as benzine or gasoline, alkaline or 
acidic solutions, dye, and bleach
●Do not use polish wax or polish 
cleaner. The instrument panel’s or 
other interior part’s painted surface 
may be damaged.
■Preventing damage to leather sur-
faces
Observe the following precautions to 
avoid damage to and deterioration of 
leather surfaces:
●Remove any dust or dirt from leather 
surfaces immediately.
●Do not expose the vehicle to direct 
sunlight for extended periods of time. 
Park the vehicle in the shade, espe-
cially during summer.
●Do not place items made of vinyl, plas-
tic, or containing wax on the uphol-
stery, as they may stick to the leather 
surface if the vehicle interior heats up 
significantly.
■Water on the floor
Do not wash the vehicle floor with water.
Vehicle systems such as the audio system 
may be damaged if water comes into 
contact with electrical components such 
as the audio system above or under the 
floor of the vehicle. Water may also 
cause the body to rust.
■When cleaning the inside of the wind-
shield
Do not allow glass cleaner to contact the 
lens. Also, do not touch the lens. 
(  P.203)
■Cleaning the inside of the rear win-
dow
●Do not use glass cleaner to clean the 
rear window, as this may cause dam-
age to the rear window defogger 
heater wires or antenna. Use a cloth 
dampened with lukewarm water to 
gently wipe the window clean. Wipe 
the window in strokes running parallel 
to the heater wires or antenna.
●Be careful not to scratch or damage 
the heater wires or antenna.
