Operation Tips
• To keep dust or unpleasant fumes from
entering the car through the ventilation
system, temporarily set the air intake
control to the recirculated air position.
Be sure to return the control to the
fresh air position when the irritation
has passed to keep fresh air in the
vehicle. This will help keep the driver
alert and comfortable.
• Air for the heating/cooling system is
drawn in through the grilles just ahead
of the windshield. Care should be
taken that these are not blocked by
leaves, snow, ice or other obstructions.
• To prevent interior fog on the wind-
shield, set the air intake control to the
fresh air position and fan speed to the
desired position, turn on the air condi-
tioning system, and adjust the temper-
ature control to desired temperature.D230503AEN

✽NOTICE
• When using the air conditioning sys-
tem, monitor the temperature gauge
closely while driving up hills or in
heavy traffic when outside tempera-
tures are high. Air conditioning sys-
tem operation may cause engine over-
heating. Continue to use the blower
fan but turn the air conditioning sys-
tem off if the temperature gauge indi-
cates engine overheating.
• When opening the windows in humid
weather air conditioning may create
water droplets inside the vehicle.
Since excessive water droplets may

system senses the moisture
of inside the windshield and
operates.If more moisture is in the vehicle, the
higher steps operate as follow. For exam-
ple if auto defogging does not defog
inside the windshield at step 1 Outside
air position, it tries to defog again at step
2 Blowing air toward the windshield.
Step 1 : Outside air position
Step 2 :Blowing air toward the windshield
Step 3 : Increasing air flow toward the
windshield
Step 4 : Operating the air conditioning
Step 5 : Maximizing the air conditioning

discharged, it resets to the auto defog-
ging status.
✽NOTICE
• If the A/C off or recirculated air posi-
tion is manually selected while the
auto defogging system is on, the auto
defogging indicator will blink 3 times
to give notice that manual operation is
canceled.
• If the air quality system (AQS) is
selected while the auto defogging sys-
tem is operating at the step 1 outside
air position, the recirculated air posi-
tion may operate when the outside air
is polluted.
