3-20Pre-driving checks and adjustments

Dehumidified defogging
This mode is used to defog the windows
and dehumidif y the air.
1. Turn the air flow control dial to the
position.
2. Turn the
fan speed control dial to
the desired position.
3. Press the
button. The indicator
light comes on.
When the
,or positions in be-
tween are selected, the air conditioner au-
tomatically turns on. The air conditioning
system will continue to operate until the
fan speed control dial is turned to OFF or
the vehicle is shut off, even if the air flow
control dial is turned to a position other
than the
position. This dehumidifies
the air which helps defog the windshield.
The
mode automatically turns off, al-
lowing outside air to be drawn into the pas-
senger compartment to further improve
the defogging performance.
4. Turn the temperature control dial to the desired position.
Operating tips
• Keep the windows closed while the airconditioner is in operation.
• Af ter parking in the sun, drive for two or three minutes with the windows open to
vent hot air from the passenger com-
partment. Then, close the windows. This
allows the air conditioner to cool the inte-
rior more quickly.
• The air conditioning system should be
operated for approximately ten min-
utes at least once a month. This helps
prevent damage to the system due to
lack of lubrication.
• A visible mist may be seen coming from the ventilators in hot, humid conditions
as the air is cooled rapidly. This does not
indicate a malfunction.
• If the high temperature warning light
illuminates in red indicating en-
gine coolant temperature is over the
normal range, turn the air conditioner
off. For additional information, refer to
“If your vehicle overheats” in the “In
case of emergency ” section of this
manual.
AIR FLOW CHARTS
The following charts show the button and
dial positions for MAXIMUM AND QUICK
heating, cooling or defrosting. The
air
recirculation button should always be in
the OFF position for heating and defrost-
ing.
Monitor, climate, audio, phone and voice recognition systems4-37

prevent the TPMS from functioning prop-
erly. Always check the TPMS malfunction
telltale af ter replacing one or more tires or
wheels on your vehicle to ensure that the
replacement or alternate tires and wheels
allow the TPMS to continue to function
properly.
Additional information:
• When replacing a wheel without theTPMS such as a spare tire, the TPMS does
not monitor the tire pressure of the spare
tire.
• The TPMS will activate only when the ve- hicle is driven at speeds above 16 mph (25
km/h). Also, this system may not detect a
sudden drop in tire pressure (for example,
a flat tire while driving).
• The low tire pressure warning light does not automatically turn off when the tire
pressure is adjusted. Af ter the tire is in-
flated to the recommended pressure, the
vehicle must be driven at speeds above
16 mph (25 km/h) to activate the TPMS
and turn off the low tire pressure warning
light. Use a tire pressure gauge to check
the tire pressure. • The “Tire Pressure Low — Add Air” or
“CHECK TIRE PRES” warning appears each
time the ignition switch is placed in the
ON position as long as the low tire pres-
sure warning light remains illuminated.
• The “Tire Pressure Low — Add Air” warning appears in the vehicle information dis-
play, or the “CHECK TIRE PRES” warning
appears in the trip computer when the
low tire pressure warning light is illumi-
nated and low tire pressure is detected.
The “Tire Pressure Low — Add Air” or
“CHECK TIRE PRES” warning turns off
when the low tire pressure warning light
turns off.
• The “Tire Pressure Low — Add Air” or “CHECK TIRE PRES” warning does not ap-
pear if the low tire pressure warning light
illuminates to indicate a TPMS malfunc-
tion. • Tire pressure rises and falls depending on
the heat caused by the vehicle’s opera-
tion and the outside temperature. Do not
reduce the tire pressure af ter driving be-
cause the tire pressure rises af ter driving.
Low outside temperature can lower the
temperature of the air inside the tire
which can cause a lower tire inflation
pressure. This may cause the low tire
pressure warning light to illuminate. If the
warning light illuminates, check the tire
pressure for all four tires.
• The Tire and Loading Information label is located in the driver's door opening.
• You can also check the pressure of all tires (except the spare tire) on the vehicle
information display screen. The order of
the tire pressure figures displayed on the
screen corresponds with the actual order
of the tire position.
For additional information, refer to “Low tire
pressure warning light” in the “Instruments
and controls” section and “Tire Pressure
Monitoring System (TPMS)” in the “In case of
emergency” section of this manual.
