tem is on
●In order to reduce the air conditioning power consumption, the air conditioning

●If the hybrid battery cooling system operat es when the air conditioning is off, a
message will be shown on the multi-information display and the air conditioning will
automatically turn on. ( P. 105)
●The sound of the air flow may change when cool air flows from the rear roof vents
or the air purifier is in operation. This occurs when the hybrid battery is being
cooled and does not indicate a malfunction.

■Ventilation and air conditioning odors
●To let fresh air in, set the air conditioning system to the outside air mode.
●During use, various odors from inside and outside the vehicle may enter into and
accumulate in the air condit ioning system. This may then cause odor to be emitted
from the vents.
●To reduce potential odors from occurring:
• It is recommended that the air conditio ning 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 immedi- ately after the air conditioning system is started in automatic mode.
