zIn order to reduce the air conditioning
power consumption, the air conditioning
system may switch to recirculated air mode
automatically. This may also reduce fuel
consumption.
z Recirculated air mode is selected as a
default mode when the “START STOP
ENGINE” <“POWER”> switch is turned to
IGNITION ON mode.
z It is possible to switch to outside air mode at
any time by pressing the air intake control
button.
z 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. z
In order to prevent the windshield from fog-
ging up when the outside air is cold, the fol-
lowing may occur:
• Outside air mode does not switch to
recirculated air mode.
• The dehumidification function operates.
• The operation cancels after approxi- mately 1 minute.
z In rainy weather, the windows may fog up.
Press the windshield air flow button.
z In extremely humid weather, the windows
may fog up.
z The pollens are filtered out even if
is
turned off.
z In the following situations, the correct out-
side temperature may not be displayed, or
the display may take longer than normal to
change.
• When stopped, or driving at low speeds
(less than 12 mph [20 km/h])
• When the outside temperature has changed suddenly (at the entrance/exit of
a garage, tunnel, etc.)

zThe dehumidification function may not
operate even when “A / C ” is selected.
z 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.
z To reduce potential odors from occurring:
• It is recommended that the air condition-
ing 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 imme-
diately after the air conditioning system is
started in automatic mode.
z The air conditioning filter may clog after
long use. The filter may need to be
replaced if the air flow of the air conditioner
and heater experiences extreme reduc-
tions in operating efficiency, or if the win-
dows fog up easily. (For details, refer to
“Owner ’s Manual”.) z
Settings can be changed. (For details, refer
to “Owner’s Manual”.)
