more than one electr onic key is in the
vicinity or if the smart access system with
push-button start is used to unlock a pas-
senger door.

lated air mode is used.

vehicle is still drawn into the vehicle after
closing 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.
■Outside/recirculated air mode
●Setting to the recirculated air mode tem-
porarily is recommended in preventing
dirty air from entering the vehicle interior
and helping to cool the vehicle when the
outside air temperature is high.
●Outside/recirculated air mode may auto-
matically switch de pending on the tem-
perature setting or the inside
temperature.
■When the outside temperature exceeds
75°F (24°C) and the air conditioning
system is on
●In 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.
●Recirculated air mode is selected as a
default 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
.
■Automatic mode for air intake control
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.
■Operation of the air conditioning sys-
tem in Eco drive mode
In Eco drive mode, the air conditioning sys-
tem is controlled as follows to prioritize fuel
efficiency:
●Engine speed and compressor operation
controlled to restrict heating/cooling
capacity
●Fan speed restricted when automatic
mode is selected
To improve air condit ioning performance,
perform the following operations:
●Adjust the fan speed
●Turn off Eco drive mode
■When the outside temperature falls to
nearly 32°F (0°C)
The dehumidification function may not
operate even when is pressed or

WARNING
■To prevent the windshield from fog-
ging up
●Do not use during cool air
operation in extremely humid weather.
The difference between the tempera-
ture of the outside air and that of the
windshield can cause the outer surface
of the windshield to fog up, blocking
your vision.
●Do not place anything on the instru-
ment panel which may cover the air
outlets. Otherwise, air flow may be
obstructed, preventing the windshield
defoggers from defogging.
■To prevent burns
●Do not touch the rear view mirror sur-
faces when the outside rear view mir-
ror defoggers are on.

●Do not touch the glass at lower part of
the windshield or to the side of the
front pillars when th e windshield wiper
de-icer is on.
