Air intake selector switch
Outside or recircu lated air positions
can be selected. Press the switch to

positions.
Recirculated air position (
)
Outside air is shut off. Air within the
vehicle is recirculated. Use this
position when going through tunnels,
driving in congested traffic (high engine
exhaust areas), or when quick cooling
is desired.
Outside air position (
)
Outside air is allowed to enter the
cabin. Use this position for ventilation
or windshield defrosting.
WARNING
Do not recirculate the air in the cabin
during cold or rainy weather:
Recirculating the air in the cabin during
cold and rainy weather is dangerous as
it will cause the windows to fog up.
Your vision will be hampered, which
could lead to a serious accident.
NOTE
The recirculated air position is the
default position whenever the
ignition is switched ON, the climate
control system is on, and the outside
temperature exceeds about 73°F
(23 ℃).
To exit the default recirculated air
position, press the air intake selector
switch to select the outside air
position.
When the air intake selector switch is
set to the outside air position and
the outside temperature exceeds
about 73°F (23 ℃), the climate
control system may automatically
select the recirculated air position to
improve the efficiency of the climate
control system.

switch.
NOTE
Set the control dial to the
recommended temperature of 22 °C
(72 °F), and then adjust it as desired.
Setting the temperature to maximum
hot or cold will not provide the
desired temperature at a faster rate.
When selecting heat, the system will
restrict airflow until the engine has
warmed to prevent cold air from
blowing out of the vents.

is automatically selected, and the air
conditioner automatically turns on.

Airflow amount will be increased.
WARNING
Set the temperature control to the hot
or warm position when defogging
(
position):
Using the
position with the
temperature control set to the cold
position is dangerous as it will cause
the outside of the windshield to fog
up. Your vision will be hampered,
which could lead to a serious accident.
NOTE
Fogging on the windows clears up
more easily while the air conditioner
is on, but they will fog up more easily
if the air conditioner is turned off.
Be careful that the windows do not
fog up when doing any of the
following:
Switching to recirculate modeTu r n i n g off the air conditionerUse the temperature control dial to
increase the air
flow temperature
and defog the windshield more
quickly.
▼ Sunlight/Temperature Sensor
The climate control system measures
inside and outside temperatures,
humidity and sunlight using the
sunlight/temperature sensor. It sets
temperatures inside the cabin
accordingly.
CAUTION
Do not obstruct both sensors,
otherwise the climate control system
will not operate properly.

To prevent misunderstood voice commands, be aware of the following points:
Connect your mobile phone to Bluetooth® before operating the mobile phone
using voice recognition.
After pressing the talk/pick-up button, wait for the beep before speaking a
command.
Speaking in a slightly louder voice will improve voice recognition, but an
excessively loud voice is unnecessary. Try to speak in a slightly louder voice than
when talking to other passengers in the vehicle.
You do not need to speak slowly. Speak at a normal speed.When calling a person in the device's phone book, the recognition rate increases
the longer the name is. Errors may oc cur with names that are short such as
“Mama”, “Home”, or “Wife”.
Speak clearly, without pausing between words or numbers.Voice commands other than those specified , cannot be recognized. Speak in the
wording specified by the voice commands.
It is not necessary to face the microphone or approach it. Speak the voice
commands while maintaining a safe driving position.
Close the windows and the moonroof* to reduce loud noises from outside the
vehicle and to prevent the airflow of the air-conditioning system from being a
disturbance when using Bluetooth
® Hands-Free.Make sure that the air flow from the air conditioner is not blowing on the
microphone.
If the voice recognition is poor with th e guidance volume set to high, set the
Barge-In to OFF.
