Normal mode
Use for normal driving.
While in Eco drive mode or Sport mode, press the “NORMAL” switch to
change the driving mode to normal mode.
Eco drive mode
Use Eco drive mode to help achieve low fuel consumption during
trips that involve frequent accelerating.
When the “ECO” switch is pressed, the “ECO MODE” indicator comes on
in the multi-information display.
Sport mode
Use sport mode when increased acceleration response and precise
handling is desired, for example, when driving on mountain roads.
When the “SPORT” switch is pressed, the “SPORT” indicator comes on in
the multi-information display.

Sport mode
• SPORT S mode
Controls the transmission and engine to provide quick, powerful
acceleration. This mode is suitable for when agile driving
response is desired, such as when driving on roads with many
curves.
When not in SPORT S mode, if the “SPORT S/S+” switch is pressed,
the “SPORT S” indicator will come on in the multi-information display.
• SPORT S+ mode
Helps to ensure steering performance and driving stability by
simultaneously controlling the steering and suspension in addi-
tion to the transmission and engine. Suitable for sportier driving.
When in SPORT S mode, if the “SPORT S/S+” switch is pressed, the
“SPORT S+” indicator will come on in the multi-information display.

3265-1. Using the air conditioning system and defogger
■When driving on dusty roads
Close all windows. If dust thrown up by the vehicle is still drawn into the vehi-
cle 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 temporarily is recommended in prevent-
ing 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 automatically switch depending on the
temperature setting or the inside temperature.
■When the outside temperature exceeds 75°F (24°C) and the air condition-
ing system is on
●In order to reduce the air conditioning power consumption, the air condition-
ing 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 .
■When the outside temperature is low
The dehumidification function may not operate even when is pressed.
■Operation of the air conditioning system in Eco drive mode
●In the Eco drive mode, “ECO” is displayed on the air conditioning screen
and the air conditioning system is controlled as follows to prioritize fuel effi-
ciency:
• Engine speed and compressor operation controlled to restrict heating/
cooling capacity
• Fan speed restricted when automatic mode is selected
●To improve air conditioning performance, perform the following operations:
• Adjust the fan speed
• Turn off Eco drive mode
■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 conditioning system. This may then cause odor to
be emitted from the vents.
●To reduce potential odors from occurring:
• It is recommended that the air conditioning 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
immediately after the air conditioning system is started in automatic
mode.
