In the Eco drive mode, the air condi-
tioning system is controlled as follows
to prioritize fuel efficiency:
• Engine speed and compressor opera-
tion controlled to restrict heating/
cooling capacity
• Fan speed restricted when automatic
mode is selected
To improve air conditioning perfor-
mance, perform the following opera-
tions:
• Adjust the fan speed and temperature
• Turn off Eco drive mode (refer to
“Owner’s Manual”.)
• Customize the air conditioning con-
trol of Eco drive mode. (refer to
“Owner’s Manual”.)
Customization
• The air conditioning control restric-
tion of Eco drive mode can be
changed to the same setting as that
used in normal drive mode. For
details, refer to “Owner’s Manual”.
• Changing the air conditioning restric-
tion will slightly reduce the Eco drive
mode’s fuel efficiency when com-
pared to before the change was made.Unlocking the vehicle using an elec-
tronic key and turning the “POWER”
switch to ON mode will recall that
key’s registered air conditioning set-
tings.
When the “POWER” switch is turned
off, the current air conditioning settings
will automatically be registered to the
electronic key that was used to unlock
the vehicle. The system may not oper-
ate correctly if more than 1 electronic
key is in the vicinity or if the smart
entry & start system is used to unlock a
passenger door.
Settings for the electronic key and the
corresponding door can be changed.

Fan speed is adjusted automatically
according 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
immediately after “AUTO” is pressed.
The windows will easily fog up when
the humidity in the vehicle is high.
Selecting “A/C” on will dehumidify the
air from the outlets and defog the wind-
shield effectively.
If “A/C” is switched off, the windows
may fog up more easily.
The windows may fog up if the recircu-
lated air mode is used.When automatic mode is set, the
humidity sensor (see page 319) detects
fog on the windshield and controls the
air conditioning system to prevent fog.
When driving on dusty roads such as
tunnels or in heavy traffic, set the out-
side/recirculated air mode button to the
recirculated air mode. This is effective
in preventing outside air from entering
the vehicle interior. During cooling
operation, setting the recirculated air
mode will also cool the vehicle interior
effectively.
Outside/recirculated air mode may
automatically switch depending on the
temperature setting or the inside tem-
perature.

CAUTION
To prevent the windshield from fog-

• Do not use the windshield air flow
button during cool air operation in
extremely humid weather. The dif-
ference between the temperature of

shield can cause the outer surface of

In order to prevent the windshield from
fogging up when the outside air is cold,
the following may occur:
• Outside air mode does not switch to
recirculated air mode.
• The dehumidification function oper-
ates.
• The operation cancels after approxi-
mately 1 minute.
In rainy weather, the windows may fog
up. Press the windshield air flow but-
ton.
In extremely humid weather, the win-
dows may fog up.
The pollens are filtered out even if
/ micro dust and pollen filter but-
ton is turned off.
In the following situations, the correct
outside temperature may not be dis-
played, or the display may take longer
than normal to change.
• When stopped, or driving at low
speeds (less than 20 km/h)
• When the outside temperature has
changed suddenly (at the entrance/exit
of a garage, tunnel, etc.)
The dehumidification function may not
operate even when “A/C” is selected.During use, various odors from inside
and outside the vehicle may enter into
and accumulate in the air conditioning
system. This may then cause odor to be
emitted from the vents.
To reduce potential odors from occur-
ring:
• It is recommended that the air condi-
tioning system be set to outside air
mode 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.
The air conditioning filter may clog
after long use. The filter may need to be
replaced if the air flow of the air condi-
tioner and heater experiences extreme
reductions in operating efficiency, or if
the windows fog up easily. (For details,
refer to “Owner’s Manual”.)
Settings can be changed. (For details,
refer to “Owner’s Manual”.)

HUMIDITY SENSOR
NOTICE
In order to detect fog on the wind-
shield, a sensor which monitors the
temperature of the windshield, the
surround humidity, etc. is installed.
(See page 317.)
Follow these points to avoid damag-
ing the sensor:
• Do not disassemble the sensor
• Do not spray the glass cleaner on the
sensor or subject it to strong impacts
• Do not stick anything on the sensor
