Operation of the air conditioning system is controlled when in Eco drive
mode. Turning off Eco drive mode enhances comfort.

■To prevent the windshield from fogging up
Do not set the air outlet selection dial to during cool air operation in
extremely humid weather. The difference between the temperature of the
outside air and that of the windshield can cause the outer surface of the
windshield to fog up, blocking your vision.
