ing the windows, it is recommended that the air intake mode be set to outside air mode
and the fan speed to any setting except off.

●Setting to the recirculated air mode temporarily is recommended in preventing dirty air
from entering the vehicle interior and helping to cool the vehicle when the outside air

ture setting or the inside temperature.
■When the outside temperature exceeds 75 F (24 C) and the air conditioning system
is on

may switch to recirculated air mode automa tically. This may also reduce fuel consump-
tion.
●Recirculated air mode is selected as a defaul t mode when the engine switch is turned to
IGNITION ON mode.
●It is possible to switch to outside air mode at any time by pressing .
■Operation of the air conditioning system in Eco drive mode
